I have had cork on the front wall of my listening room for 25 years. My mother-in-law worked for the company importing it so it was very inexpensive for me to get. I can't even remember what the room sounded like without it, so I am not much help there. What I liked was the smoky smell of the darn thing that I have always associated with hi-fi.The stuff I installed way back when is about an inch thick, dark brown and made up of pretty coarse pieces of cork. It came in pieces of one foot by three.
All I can tell you is that if you can get for a good price, natural cork is a good material. You will still need some more absorptive material for other portions of the room though. I use heavy Oriental rugs on some of the walls at the front of the room.
