Sadly, I had this little thing called work and I won't open it before this evening.

I'll try to post many pics and measures

Thank you Dave.

I can tell you that I'm not really focused at work today

I've installed quickly and all I can say now is that I have a giant grin on my face.

More details, more precise tone, better soundstage. I'm simply amazed. I'll give more feedback later and also once I've done the ceiling.

Merci Jérôme et Bart.

I'm listening to ziggy stardust and now let it be on my vinyl rig. This is fantastic.

It has completely changed the sound in the room. I'm getting a great soundstage, everybody is in its right place. I can feel that I need some work on speaker placement to really get to nirvana.

This is the best money you can spend on audio. I have still some work to do on integration like elevate the tritrap above the plinth so they could be flush against the wall.

Glad you're enjoying everything so far! That Madura green looks so cool, and it's going to look even better once you get that ArtPanel in there.

Some measures, though I'm not too confident in them.

That's before (left/right)

And after (left/right)

RT60 before and after (quite an improvement here)

Impulse and waterfall after

I found the measure surprising as I was expecting more improvement in the bass section.
