Those panels look great, much better than my homebrew solution. I've been thinking about getting those and now I see they look much better than their website suggests.

Happy Listening!

Cool. Glad it's working out for you. Although I suspect your cats will think the traps behind the couch are new-fangled scratching posts.

HAHA! Only one cat, and she's de-clawed. No worries, other than ridiculous amounts of hair.

Ordered some new goodies last week:

GIK Acoustics 244 x 2

GIK Acoustics 242 x 3

GIK Acoustics Tri-Traps x 2

The 244's and the Tri-Traps showed up, so I thought I'd throw up a couple of pics. For those curious, the 242's are going to be portable and go along the windows when I'm rocking a BD or similar. But I wasn't about to give up the view permanently. :-)

Initial impressions? Wow. It took a minute, because I can't imagine this room would ever be easy to tame, but there is a DEFINITE difference. It's tough to describe, though. The best way I can think of is, is that the sweet spot is simply sweeter. The level of clarity is ridiculously improved. Had to actually turn up the sub which did the sub a LOT more justice. Everything is just tighter from top to bottom. I have the feeling that adding the 242's to lessen the impact of those huge windows will make an even bigger difference.

Needless to say, I'm really happy, and the experience in both assessing my room, and purchasing from GIK can only be rivaled by the customer service found in Aperion's crew. Amazing experience from start to finish. Highly recommend.
