Room Treatment

Compared to ASC, GIK is a huge value leader.
Their soffit traps (bass traps) are gorgeous, easy to stand up in corners, and offer amazing low frequency performance compared to other products.

I highly recommend them.

Another believer here.GIK rocks!I've got bass traps in all four corners.Just this week I've been playing around with ceiling treatments with excellent results.I was afraid they would look awful but they really don't.Killing reflections while remaining aesthetically pleasing:-)

Aesthetics vs. control seems to have a fine line that visual taste vs. 'appreciated musicality' have to waltz upon.  Since most don't have the freedom to have a 'segregated' room for audio or AV, there's a limit to what and how one can apply.  GIK is an answer among others, but SAF or even one's own preferences can curtail what one does.
One thought is to develop a taste for tapestries...curtains that extend beyond the edges of a window in an inconvenient location....

One has to be creative in the face of grim reality.  Thinking outside of the box is easier if one considers the box having 'permeable' walls...;)

...and DAC helps a lot.*G*

Has anyone considered physical acoustic 'room dividers' ?
Just curious...

Sculptural shapes for the corner bass traps?

Do they Always have to be prism-shaped or tubular pillars?

Can aesthetics co-exist with concept?

Does audio Have to be in a padded cell?

(No wonder we're considered crazy....*L*) 

@asvjerry  I assume you are teasing a bit.  We all know that your room is the most important variable in any sound system.

Locally, a company built an entire auditorium for MUSIC ONLY, and the last show I saw there was amazing.  Even the artist spoke about it three times during the show...said it was the best room in the business and blew Caesar's Palace (where he was going next) out of the water.

We all remember the pop recordings from the old days when various artists used bathrooms and other strange places to get the sound they wanted.  Today, studios and recording gear are much more sophisticated, but your listening room needs serious attention.

I cannot tell you how many times I set up a customer system in a room and improved it 100% with some appropriate changes...moving speakers, using professional sound treatments. etc.

It isn't exactly rocket science, but it helps to know what is available and to play around a bit to get the best possible listening environment.  Even mediocre gear sounds better in a well-designed room.

Cheers!
