Getting GIKed!

    I recently told my wife what I wanted for my birthday. It's only 4 months away! I explained to her that with all the money spent on my audio addiction, the biggest thing lacking was proper room treatments. So I showed her the GIK website. She yawned,looked at me cross eyed,and said"just get them". So, 4 months early,happy birthday to me! 
   
        I placed the order on Friday. It consists of,2-24"x36" 244 bass traps,and 4-24"x24" 242 broadband panels.
 This should be adequate for my 9'x13'x8' listening room. This will give me treatments on all four walls. If needed,I may add some sort of diffuser on the rear wall. I am very excited to,hopefully,bring my system up to a new level. Since I've assembled this system,I've only had 2 somewhat real acoustical panels. Everything else has been cheap foam. So,this should be interesting .

I just received the "in production " email. I think as a joke,I'll take all the foam do dads from my listening room,and treat the living room. I'm sure my wife will be impressed!

Excellent. Now when you do the room and speakers with HFT you'll be able to let us know just how much more effective they are for the money.

I am in love with the Soffit traps. They aren't marketed as corner traps, but damn the specs are ideal.
