We're always open to suggestions as to a look that is more acceptable - seriously. Unfortunately, size will always be an issue. What specifically would you like to see if you don't mind me doing a little 'market research'?Bryan
I never used this product, but the Furutech room diffuser is definitely a step in the right direction ... It is still large, but (IMO, at least) less offensive looking than a GIK or Realtrap panel.
If folks are willing to look at a huge tower speakers, driven by a pair of tube monoblocks on raised platforms in the middle of the floor, connected with garden hose thick cables, then why not bass traps and RFZ panels? I am serious! I happen to think bass traps look really cool. --Ethan
I bet if you put ten of them in a room, with most of them straddling wall-wall and wall-ceiling corners, you'd change your opinion. As Bryan said, the main issue is the size necessary to be effective, and also that you need a bunch of them. Having a frame helps a little, and having a large choice of colors helps a little, but 90 percent of it is the sheer size and number. So what to do?We have a new line of panels with a nicer look - beveled edges, the full depth is hidden so they look thinner than they are, and so forth. I can't do anything about the overall size, and if the spouse says "No way" then you'll just have to suffer with poor acoustics. But please blame your spouse, not me! The other approach is acceptance.
