ceiling acoustic treatment

Thanks everyone and sorry for the confusion, but my current system pics are before the recent move into my basement. Basement room is 18'x33'x10 ceilings. I'll update system pics when I get a little farther along

I'm already experimenting with panels on side walls.

I'm just curious what the acoustic difference is for spacing the ceiling panels away from the surface.

I went a different route - take a look at my system for more information. The approach I used works extremely well, and looks better too - IMO

Good listening

I think......no need space between the ceiling & panels. But sound quality greatly depends on the the effectiveness of the panels. I am not sure about your panels. But i know a manufacturer, they provide very good looking & effective acoustic panels at a very low price. In the next before making a decision you can visit them first(http://www.acousticmanufacturer.com/Noise-Barrier-on-Temporary-Fence-for-Construction-Site.html). Thank you.
