Havelock Wool acoustic panels vs fiberglass/Rockwool


I have recently found a company offering sheep's wool rigid acoustic panels, (https://havelockwool.com) Havelock Wool Company,  and am considering using them vs the the standard fiberglass/rockwool rigid panels for my DIY wall/ceiling absorbers for my new listening room. 

  The wool would seem to be safer at a casual glance and wool is supposed to be a superior sound absorber I believe.  The cost is a little more, but it is not terribly more expensive.

  I would be interested in others opinions on this approach.

Another option is recycled denim/cotton like echo verb or soundproof cow. Moo.

In theory broad band panels are generally more effective. You may want to experiment doubling them up or have them offset from the wall/ceiling to maximize midrange absorption.
