| My system's high frequencies hurt my ears Some acoustic panels look fine to good even to our spouses. I will say it one more time. This is your issue. GIK makes all sort of colors and art panels and they will tame your highs and greatly improve your sound.Speaker placement and room treatm... | |
| My system's high frequencies hurt my ears Get some GIK acoustic panels and treat the 1&2nd reflection points as well as the wall behind you. They can also be used on the wall behind the speakers. Please tell me about your room. I can near guarantee you that these 242 and 244 GIK panel... | |
| Speakers with no rear wall, better or worse sound? You want the speakers you mention at least 5 feet out from the wall. The more the better. Mine are 7.5 feet and the sound is glorious. I measure from the front of the speaker. Perhaps 13 is too much, but I would have to hear them. The rule of 1/3'... | |
| Conrad Johnson Art vs. Premier 16 LS II I owned the CJ 16 and liked it a lot. However the TRL Dude tube preamp was a utter and complete revelation to my music compared to the well respected 16. Based on this experience please do yourself a big favor and consider the Dude. | |

| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Yes, this is really to bad and a seriously poor decision. The sense of community here is disappearing because of recent changes and with it goes the long term health of this site. We are seeing the fall and ultimate ruin of something that was a jo... | |
| Room treatment made me cry.......a little........ Nonoise, Amen to your final comments! I am thrilled with the results of my GIK treatments. Everything you mention regarding sound improvements and more with my newly treated room. I have dipole speakers, and placing diffusion behind the speakers w... | |
| Room treatment made me cry.......a little........ I did try both a panel and blanket cover over the TV. I have a 52 inch screen and removing it from between the speakers turned out to be a far greater improvement. Sorry to have to share this, but this was my experience. | |
| Room treatment made me cry.......a little........ Ok, I placed an additional tri bass trap and monster bass trap behind me. Very nice indeed. Things are sounding very good indeed. I really like the GIK stuff. I purchased more then I needed however and will end selling some panels and one tri trap... | |
| Room treatment made me cry.......a little........ Panels make a difference. The homemade ones you mention and others do not absorb as evenly accross the frequency spectrum. GIK panels are 5.5 inches thick for the 244 panel. The monster bass panel is 6 inches deep.So instead of absorbing just the ... | |
| Room treatment made me cry.......a little........ John, your post had me LOL as I also have college and post college aged children. They come back for a season and then scatter. Empty nest to full house from one weekend to the next.As good as a treated room sounds the harmony of a loving wife is ... | |
| Room treatment made me cry.......a little........ Jmcgrogan, yes I will stay put! Ha!Buconero117, if the gear is 4 feet behind the front plane of the speakers and only 2 feet off the floor and in a rack that allows space over, under and throughout the gear, then how much can this really impact th... | |
| Room treatment made me cry.......a little........ Mapman, I have removed the TV to test before the treatments showed up and while there was an improvement, it was not that pronounced. The TV was about 5 feet behind the front plane of the speakers so perhaps that also helped negate some of the TV ... | |
| Room treatment made me cry.......a little........ I will add those other products just dulled the sound to the point that all the excitment was lost. I have educated myself on correct placements etc... and while these GIK products were placed in the exact same positions of the past room treatment... | |
| Room treatment made me cry.......a little........ Bombaywalla, I'm no spring chicken just onto something new...I have tried products from Echo Busters and other companies I won't mention. I have also built my own panels before. They NEVER did what these GIK panel did however. I ended up removing ... |
