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?

@glennkuras Good luck! I'm so excited about some Qrds and any other diffusion products. (I just can't find the time to build my own Skyline.)

@glennkuras I have learned so much from you on various forums and really like my GIK items.

Hearing from you about what is honestly going on at GIK has helped me a lot. I have decided to stick with GIK and will just give the situation a bit of time. What I really need now is diffusers (without absorption), and I'm hoping to see some options in stock without too long a shipping time. I don't see the Gotham any more and I'm hoping for something like it that is not so heavy or expensive, like the PI Audio Group AQD diffusers.
