I knew room treatments were in my future.

Really dislike ASC for a couple of reasons, price and performance.  I went to a show in Oakland sponsored by ASC, and almost every room had Tube Traps galore.
The rooms sounded terrible.  They were not better to listen to in the mid to treble, and the bass, while clear, became 1 note.  It was as if all the rooms were playing the same song in the bass.  It sounded like the TT were imposing their own character on the room instead of taking the room out of the equation.

The couple of rooms I found which used traditional panels sounded MUCH better.

To each his own. I found pillows in the corners behind the speakers to work better than Stillpoints Apetures, actually much better. My dealer has many of Aperture's, and in his room, they seem to work OK.

I moved to GIK Impressions corner traps a few months ago, and @ $470/pair delivered, they provide much more room treatment for the $$. They definitely work better than the pillows. I'm sort of debating with myself whether to buy first reflection treatment now. I'm not really sure I have a first reflection problem though and never thought I did.

I will dump all my Stillpoints and throw bankets on the floor instead(HO HO).Everybody has an opinion good luck with ugly pillows  in your listening room.

For me, I'd measure first, then try the less expensive ideas, listen and measure again, and only after that spend $750 each for Stillpoints. The idea that this is could be the *first* thing suggested is pretty rash.

I think its part of ebm’s humorZ. He seems to suggest a ridiculously expensive option and then to act asap.  LoL, kinda funny really
