Argent Room Lenses?


My wife and I have been discussing our options reguarding acoustic treatments. After looking at several different items, we've discovered that Argent Room Leses is something we both can live with. However, I was wondering if anyone at Audiogon has had any experience with them. Whether it is negative or postive, I would appreciate any input.

I made my own set of Room Lenses using the Jon Risch recipe combined with Greg Weavers steps and Thorsten filling recipe. Let me tell that after they were finished, they spend about a year between two audiophiles friends systems and almost lost them. They made fantastic results on both systems and on different positions. The actual guide from RL manual are just that, a guide to start. Final set up will depend on room, kind of speakers used and trial. The effect in my case is to give a huge soundstage, there are more details and clarity too. depending on the center lense position, the vocalist are presented at different deepness. The DIY can cost around $60-200 depending on the quality and finishing of the bases. Mine are finished in solid pieces of Red Cedar and were made by a wood specialist. There was my extra cost. Regarding the other materials, just plane PVC tubing (2") and pillow filling at Wal-Mart.

To much questions to respond....just check out the reviews at their site for technical information. You will see different reccomendations, positioning, how they work, what to expect and so. Also, go to www.audioasylum.com and search at the tweaker asylum under Room Lenses. Check the Jon Risch site too. You will see discussions on every question you may have.

...and yes, they work but don't need to be the original ($399.00/each) RL...the DIY version will do the same.
