experience w/ Auralex room treatment

I am getting a wool (wall to wall)carpet for my listening room tomorrow which I have freshly painted and everything is now much more pleasing to the eye. I would like to reduce the amount of ugly home made room tratments and try to treat my live sounding room with a more aesthetically pleasing alternative to blue mattress eggcrate foam stuff. I was at my local guitar / Pro audio shop today, and I saw one of their small rooms treated with a $329.00 absorption kit of room treatment from Auralex. It actually looked decent in the burgundy and gray color they had. Does anyone have any experience with this or similar sonex type products. Thanks in advance.

I don't agree with Seasoned regarding the colors. Both the purple and the cranberry look pretty sharp depending on your wall color of course. Also note that you have more mundane (and also much more expensive choices) if you look on their site.
I took advantage of their recommendation process, and came out with a room that sounds excellent. One suggestion - don't use the glue - use pushpins so that you can change positions as desired. Moving a panel just a few inches can have a significant effect on the sound.
You can also mix-and-match the panels of varying thickness a design to get the desired sound and aesthetic effect.
