bass traps

does anyone have experience with GIK vs primacoustics. They both look like well done products. I'm thinking about bass traps up front with panels behind and to the first reflection points about six feet out from the front wall. Two more panels at the rear, about 20 feet back, and I'll be set (well, I hope so). But.....which company? I've spoken with Jim Smith of "Get Better Sound". He asked that I send pictures of my listening environment to be able to give some accurate advice. Great guy to speak with. Anxiously awaiting his insights. Anyone else?

I'm using a pair of GIK Tri-traps. They seem to work well enough but I haven't A/B-ed them against other makes.

It will be interesting to see what the comparison reveals. Especially when one looks at the construction differences. Right now I'm talking with Primacoustics and GIK. Now, I'm no carpenter ( growing up my Father's motto was cut THEN measure) but I'm tempted to build my own and have a local upholsterer complete the outer fabric.

Brianpack,

You might also check out Acoustimac. I used them and they can be viewed on my virtual system.

I have used Acoustimac as well and have experience with GIK. I use and prefer RealTraps. Cost you a bit more but more effective in my experience.
