GIK Vicoustic and others


I started work on my basement room which will be used exclusively for 2 channel stereo 

It's quite small 14 x 11 but that's all I got to work with. 

What is the best way to position speakers? Along the long wall or the short wall? 

Would Sonus Faber Ellipsa overload this small room? 

I got two 20 amp receptacles and two 15 amp for other things 

I'm looking into proper acoustic treatments and was wondering which company is best for price and quality  

Also, are there specific recommendations for dry wall and insulation ? Do I Insulate the ceiling or just walls?  It's a small room, I am concerned about making it too dead. What about ceiling ?

I ordered three 6 inch by 2 foot wide and 4 feet tall dual use for my rear wall. The order took a couple of months but they were on time within their estimated time. Packaging was poor. I used a black marker to touch up some light damage.  SQ changes were NOT noticeable, but they look cool. I ordered 2 16 Inch by 4 foot tube traps, they were almost 3 times the cost of the three GIK panels, but they make a huge improvement if you can believe this...IMAGING and secondly bass control. I put them behind and  a bit towards  the center on the front wall. They only took 2 weeks to get them to me. Pacaging was amazing and protective. Proucts were perfect. BTW the tube traps are often shown as an off white that stands out like a

Sorry i hit enter without editing my comments. The three panels were GIK. The point at the end was that I ordered black Tube traps and they integrate well with my black speakers/grills/subs. Rather than the off white units that tend to stand out at acoustic treatments. I highly recommend the much more expensive Tube traps. Big sonic gain and tunable to your room and the space you have available.
