I have the new Phase 4 Echo Busters and 4 Echo buster 2x4 wall treatments....
the Phase 4 treatments are excellent... they are basically an advanced version of the Bass Busters... only they have 4 surfaces to let the user trim the room the best way possible. Two sides have absorbtion and the other two have diffusion.. or you can use 1 side of each...
I have the Phase 4s behind my Mirage M5si which are about 4 feet from the back wall... the Phase 4s need a little dialing in, but definately focus the soundstage and improve the bass definition and clarity. The Mid bass is more accurate and the drums have more presence. The Echo Busters I have behind the speakers on the wall at listening level and up and then at the first echo point to take away the slap echo. These at first I had in front and back, but this made the room too dead sounding.. Moving the rear busters to the front position opened up the room and actually made the soundstage deeper and the highs more crisp. I am very happy with the overall improvements from the package I purchased. Thanks to Mike at Echobusters for steering me in the right direction! Definately an affordable solution to tweeking the room to the next level.
Happy listening,
Joe
