They simply aren't thick enough. The ASC tubetraps can go all the way down to 20 hz depending on how thick you purchase. I also think that the ASC traps aren't as attractive as the Vicoustics ones. I find that it is the 80-120 hz frequencies that cost the most issue, muddying up 500-5k, so I opted to treat those with Vicoustics and still have an attractive look!
Thank you bery much for all the feedback. I have had to put this idea for my room on hold for various reasons. When it can come back, I will out REW and get some fresh measurements so I can decide what is the best course of action. I wish that Vicoustics, or something as aesthetically impressive and well made was reliably available in the US. ASC has a great rep. but the aesthetics do not do much for me I am afraid. Are there any other products that deal well with freqs below 80 hz?

Thank you all for thr feedback!
