I forgot to mention if it matters that music and movies will both be important.
Best room treatment
Good day everyone. While I’m waiting for my system to arrive I’m turning my attention to treating our not so good 2 story family room that it will be installed in. There are quite a few brands out there. My question is can anyone who has tried the various brands recommend the ones that work the best for absorption and diffusion. Thank you

I would recommend you to reach out to GIK Acoustics for a free consultation. IME, they are best in the business and reasonably priced compare to their competitors. Check out some of the systems here that are using their acoustic panels. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems?utf8=✓&q=GIK+Acoustics |
I’m under the impression that how much you use and where you place it is far more important than the particular brand of panel. Most places post the absorption specs for their panels so it’s not really a matter of better vs worse just “different”. (And of course the aesthetic angle). With that being said, I believe Vicoustic’s analysis and room projects are highly regarded. $150 I think for them to consult on a HiFi room. Their panels are NOT cheap though (I did a consult from them and the cost for all recommended panels would have been close to $20k). GIK acoustics will do free consulting/advice, but I don’t think they’re as knowledgeable (at least in my experience). Though They were more willing to work with my budget of “around $1000” rather than Vicoustics more “we think you should spend $20k and make it perfect” |
