firedog,
Given where you live, are your walls (L, R, and ceiling) made out of concrete or drywall/gypsum board? Is the floor concrete, carpet over concrete, wooden floor or tile over concrete?
Anand.
Hi-
Thanks Anand for the interest. And Bryan for the reply.
My walls and ceiling are concrete, the floor is tile over concrete. At this point I've put up all the panels except the ceiling one, which requires me to move the existing light fixture. Hopefully, that will be done tomorrow.
I can say that even without the ceiling panel, I'm very happy with the results. All of the hoped for improvements have occurred: tighter bass, generally more focussed sound, clearer detail, no more reflections off the back wall behind the listening point. That last problem is really a big one in a small room.
In short the GIK panels have been like a major upgrade to my whole system. Listening is much more enjoyable everything is much more musical sounding. Previously I'd used TACT DRC to achieve much the same effect, but I think I prefer the results with the panels, especially as the panels don't tie me in to any specific audio hardware. I may try DRC again along with the panels, as several audiophiles have told me this gave them the best results. We'll see.
