Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required?


In a video from 1/29/2021 (yesterday) Dennis Foley, Acoustic Fields warns people about acoustic treatment budgets. He asserts in this video that treatment will likely require (summing up the transcript):

Low end treatment: $5-10k

Middle-high frequency: $1-1.5k

Diffusion: Walls $10-15k, Ceiling: $30, 40, 50k

Ostensibly, this is done in the spirit of educating people who think they can do treatment for less than this.

People here have warned about some of his advice. Is this more troubling information or is he on target?

For those here who have treated their rooms to their own satisfaction, what do you think of his numbers?

Totally disagree.  I have a very large rooms with a lot of glass and minimal walls.  After a year I added 4 Vicoustic Acoustic Absorption panels and I could not believe how much the sound improved.  It cost me $2K.  I received a quote from him and it was around $46k.  Thank God I saved $44k.

Do you really think people are going to spend that kind of money on room treatments when they balk at spending 10K on a whole system?
