Echo Buster or ASC for room treatment?


Hi, I need something to treat echo problem and bass management for my room. However, I don't know which company is good Echo Buster or ASC. The Echo Buster seems to be a little cheaper than the ASC. Does anyone use of these products, please give some feedbacks? Should I spend more on ASC or Echo buster is good enough? Where can I get a best price on these products? Thanks for your inputs. DT

Some good posts here. I would add Argent Room Lens as a possibility to your list. While I haven't used them I've heard that they are better then Echo Buster (which I have used). I sent Echo Buster my room layout and had them put together a suggested treatment scheme. After all was said and done the total price was around $1500. But, and here's the rub, no bass management. I've tested my room and there are clear resonance modes below 160 Hz and down to about 35 Hz. So, $1500 wouldn't even cover my worst problem. From what I have read about Argent Room Lens for around $1200 - $1300 you get management of nearly the entire spectrum. Of course, with the Argent Room Lens you need to spend the entire amount up front; with Echo Buster you can spread the pain out over several months or years. As always, my advice is to read, read, read. Jon Risch has an excellent site for DIY room treatments that are cheap and, he claims, `better than most of the consumer stuff (I'm having trouble connecting to his site, so I'll post the address later).
