GIK Acoustic Treatments

The new listening room (22x14)is a bit of an acoustic nightmare: ceramic floors, bare walls, and open side wall into a large cavernous space. An 8x10 rug with 2 ASC tube traps is doing little to tame the slap echo. My web research led me to GIK Acoustics. Very affordable products with great customer service. I just submitted my "consult form" with an indicated budget of $1000. I have read of some members here who have been very pleased with their products. Was hoping to hear of other members experiences with GIK in terms of results, build quality and aesthetic.

Thanks

I contacted GIK a couple years back for some swatches showing their current standard line, and their upscale line of fabrics... 3 times. I'm still waiting... well, I quit waiting as they never came.

Thanks... it's cool. Sure I was disappointed at the results, especially after I offered to pay, twice, for the samples.

However in my life everything always works out. I bought sufficient OC & Manley (?) rock wool to outfit two severe corner traps, ala Super chunks, first reflections, and corner busters, for around $175, and the backboarding for around $10, the fabric isn't settled yet, but should come in around $100 give or take a bit. so for about 3 bills or so, the room gets done acoustically. Esthetically, it'll appear as traditional furniture accessories and match better to the existing color changes I've made there too. Should be done shortly.

Good luck and enjoy.
