GIK alternatives


Last month, an audiophile colleague inquired about GIK acoustics on this forum. I shared my experiences as a longtime customer. I pointed out episodic challenges with build quality but a highly responsive staff. I have changed my impression and would not recommend them. GIK has recently changed CEO and several longtime colleagues appear to have left. Their prices have increased, especially for shipping. I’ve been attempting to place an order by phone without success. And their product lead time is extraordinary. For example, I was informed that routine scatter plates would not be shipped out for 2 months. They’re having problems. Any recommendations for alternative companies?

I agree, great company. I too ordered a panel as well as a roll of fabric, showed up at my door in just 3 days. Nice quality. 

I recommend Acoustic Design Works. Got two 2" absorption panels covered in fabric, 24 inch hexagon, for only $107 plus the shipping, which was reasonable.

I do like the GIK diffuser/absorption combo panels that I've seem on their website. They are pretty nice looking and available in several finishes and designs/patterns.
