Feedback on Costco & Amazon sound absorption panels from folks who have purchased them.


Greetings.  My wife & I have purchased a new home (to us) and I am extremely fortunate enough to be getting a 19 X 21 foot room for my stereo.  The home is getting all new vinyl plank flooring throughout.  This rooms floor will have a nice large area rug of some sort to help with sound control.  My wife has been searching around for wall treatments and found the Artika panels at Costco and a plethora of choices on Amazon.   Looking for input on users and if you are happy with your choices.  I need to keep it aesthetically pleasing so no chunks of foam glued to the wall.  System is: Krell FPB300cx amp, KCT pre and Infinity Renaissance 90 speakers for reference,

Thanks for any input to a regular guy that just happens to dig quality sound. -John

An interesting thing about the example in the link I posted previously is that the builder used an edge hardener instead of wood boards.  The end result appears to look pretty good so that may be a viable option instead of spending money on wood and mitering/connecting the edges.  I have not done it myself but I thought it looked like an interesting and easy approach.

Owens Corning 703 is good stuff for sound absorption panels.  This link shows one fairly easy method of making your own panels out of OC acoustic insulation material (link).
