I have had good luck with Synergistic products because I have actually used them, so about a week ago I bought a 5 pack of their HFT [high frequency transducers] but those little guys opened up the sound stage more than the wide sound stage I had before. for years I have been using their Basic Art System[ not the expensive one] one of the cups had fallen off the wall and I didn't realize it but I couldn't figure out why sound stage had collapsed and when I put the cup back up all was good again. In my 18x25ft. room the Basic ART [d/c] the only sound treatment I used, on my speaker site I see so many using all sorts of diffusers and traps,I tried a trap once and thought it sounded good but I decided to give the ART a try and got rid of the traps, huge improvement. I bought the HFT because on the front wall like so many others that I was throwing a heavy blanket over it which helped mostly with a depth and a few other things but it's a pain in the butt doing that every time, the HFT's apply to front wall opened up the stage even more and detail and dynamics are up too, no more blanket needed, not sure if removing the blanket or if it's the HFT's but the sound level is up from the normal level or the HFT's are creating a fuller sound stage but whatever I have to lower the volume a few notches,I have Magnepan 20.1's and the sound wave on the front wall is less so I might be hearing a more direct sound from my speakers. HFT'S are a money back guarantee and will cost a lot less then what I have seen people doing to their rooms.It's worth a try and if you don't like them send them back, if you get the results that I got you will be keep them. I have what they call level-one which treats the front wall only Level-two 5 more HFT's treat the sidewalls which I might be doing doing down the road.
