6.5 foot ceilings, you have a difficult situation to say the least. Could be very difficult to manage p. Major bass absorption in great magnitudes, not inexpensive. Please don’t make the the mistake of buying anything without knowing what issues you are trying to solve. You need data. Understand your rooms fundamentals regarding 30, 40, 50 cycle responses. All harmonics blossom ( or not ) from there. These fundamentals, if not managed will distort the octaves above. You will never hear the true electronics, speakers that you own.

About to invest in room treatments; GIK, RealTraps, DIY -- what is your experience?
I'm reaching the point soon where I'll invest in some treatments for my two channel listening room. Standmount speakers with tube amps. Room about 28x14ft with low ceilings, 6.5ft. Probably different kinds of treatments are needed. I'm not exactly sure yet what I'll need or how much to spend. This is not my final listening room, but I won't be able to configure another one for a few years.
I've seen many people tout GIK on this forum and I'm already communicating with them a bit. I will also reach out to Real Traps and possibly others. I do not feel bound to go with just one company or solution, so if you've mixed and matched, I'm curious about that, too.
Any recent comparisons between these two, or others? Do you have stories of good or not so good products or service? Any comments about the value of competing products? I'm not super handy or have a lot of free time, but DIY is also considered.
