@mashif +1 for using local insulation distributors. Couple years ago purchased a case of twelve for around $135.00. Tried to get a current quote but the guy went home for the weekend. So it can’t be much more than that today.
Alternative absorbent acoustic material?
I finally read the owner’s manual that came with a pair of speakers I bought last spring (Revel M126Be) and there is a a couple of paragraphs that talk about treatment materials. Revel states that: "There are numerous options for absorbent material. None are superior to low-cost fiberglass." And it goes on to say that "It is important to use absorbers that are at least 4 inches thick, to avoid altering the spectral response of the loudspeakers." It also says that "Sculpted foam is less efficient" and needs to be "at least 8 inches thick."
I assume that the low cost fiberglass that Revel is referring to is the insulation that comes on a roll that is available from, for example, Lowes? Has anyone tried this, and if so how did it work out?

@mashif , Nice one, good to know. |
See the link Buy insulation 4" thick mineral wool performs the best

Basotect(click)....way more efficient than any of the ATS and GIK materials....and waaay more cheaper. It’s used in trains, plains, industry and probably (90% chance) in your car’s headliner. |
