You have to be cautious with sound absorbing panels since when utilized they can suck up all the sound so none reaches your ears. This is the dirty little secret nobody in the sound panel cabal wants you to know.
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

Traveled down the road of "acoustic materials" that at first bluster seemed to be the way to go. However, once the overall price hits you upside the head you realize that cotton... Here is what AI states:
As Dave and Troy stated, you can create a dead room by using too much. This is especially true if your room is smallish. A big room will require quite a few of 703 baffles before the room gets to that point. There has been a fairly large uptick in commercial entities (restaurants, office buildings, etc) using noise barriers as privacy is becoming more important, even in public settings. Perhaps some of it started in the covid era where public places realized people do not like to listen to other people talk..or maybe it's they don't like what other people say. |
An additional option if you go with GIK is that you can have the pannels and have artwork on them to give the room additional character. |
