GIK - Free 3D Acoustics modelling!

GIK has a lot of very pretty things including art print based absorbers and soffit traps (bass traps) in designer fabrics. 

My last experience with ASC was not very good. They sponsored the show in Oakland and the rooms sounded terrible. One note bass and etched highs. 

Honestly I was pretty shocked, because I had been a fan in the past. 

GIK is cheaper and better, especially with the soffit traps for bass. 

Best,

Hi @bdp24 -

It wasn’t 1 bad experience, it was two dozen bad experiences all at once! :) And perhaps for context I should have added that the previous California Audio Show was the opposite. Every room well treated with ASC was among the best. So I don’t know what happened this time. I seem to remember that previously ASC provided a number of products, but last time it seemed they only brought tube traps.  Perhaps this accounted for the severe depressed midrange I encountered in treated rooms?

Besides that, I am nothing if not open to the idea everyone should like what they like.

I will say though, that as a budget conscious audiophile, I would never look anywhere but GIK. The quality and performance are unbeatable in anything I could afford. There may be ASC products which fill other needs or have better performance, but I no longer feel the need to comparison shop.
