Really dislike ASC for a couple of reasons, price and performance. I went to a show in Oakland sponsored by ASC, and almost every room had Tube Traps galore.
The rooms sounded terrible. They were not better to listen to in the mid to treble, and the bass, while clear, became 1 note. It was as if all the rooms were playing the same song in the bass. It sounded like the TT were imposing their own character on the room instead of taking the room out of the equation.
The couple of rooms I found which used traditional panels sounded MUCH better.
