I have bought more than 15 panels from Acoustimac over a 10 year period. Their products have great finish/build quality and represent good value. The only issue is that I have had a couple of panels arrive damaged. Some of these cases seem more due to delivery company and not the packaging. They have however always replaced items for free and in fairly quick fashion. I plan to keep using them as needs arise. I have never been tempted by GIK given how sloppy their material folding at the corners appears in pictures.
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?
