Experience with Argent Room Lens

Well, you guys may not beleive this but I did flip a coin. My wife dropped the change jar, so there were plenty of them around...

I flipped a nickle: heads - buy; tails - don't buy.

Landed heads... so I am buying the one listed on here.

How's that for scientific?

It actually made more sense than I lot of stuff I have seen lately, KP.

I've had room lenses for about 2 years. In my previous
set-up with CLS speakers, the room was damped with about
a dozen tube traps. This was way too many for my Alon
Circe's. With so many tube traps, the Circe's sounded
muffled. But with the tube traps removed, there were
room issues that went unresolved. Argent room lenses
solved this issue. With one placed between the speakers
and one on either side of each speaker, the soundstage
was wider and deeper with more stability. You can easily
tune the soundstage by moving the room lenses around.

I am sorry to hear that they are no longer in production
as I thought they were a very useful product and deserved
more success on the marketplace.

I agree with Brian. When I first got my Room Lenses, I put them into a living room system that was both lower res and had real room problems. They worked like a charm. Now, in a good dedicated, well treated room with a much higher res system, they hurt the imaging if I put them in front of the speakers. Specifically they diffuse the image by pulling it out from the center toward the sides. I still use them as diffusors, but I keep them out of the image-forming area in front of the speakers.

Thye came in today; I will fiddle with them for a while and post. The room is untreated, and I'd like to keep it that way.

From what I've read, the lenses are best used in untreated rooms. We shall see.
