Hey guys. I'm looking towards buying some room treatments. ASC Tube Traps seem to be highly regarded but what about their sound panels? Not too many audiophiles seem to have their sound panels.
I'll agree with the posts above. I have 4 along with tube traps in the front 2 corners. The wall panels really help with slap echo in a few spots in my room. Big improvement in detail for me...
I think they do do something to the sound that is not entirely good, reminds me of Sonex in that there is a subtle but noticeable change to the quality of the sound; it was not without trying, as I had 4 panels to play with, never did find any combination that I preferred to no panels. I do, however, like the ASC Tube Traps, but not in the corners. I also had good results with Corner Tunes.
It seems to me that ASC makes the best tube traps so I'm pretty confident that they'll work for me and I'll get what I paid for so there is value in that.
But ASC isn't known for their sound panels and although I do think they'll work are they a good value?
Save yourself a ton of money and build your own.So far I have built Jon Risches tube traps,my own acoustic panels and ,skyline diffusers.I did the whole room for under 500.00.If you have the money to buy the real deal then go for it, if not I would give you some great advice on DIY.
