I really like those Jim - would like to do something similar along my side walls for 1st reflections. Thanks for sharing!

Very nice Jim !
I have 2 of them in my room and they are really cool.
I understand the need for you especially on the rear wall, because you're really close to it. I don't know why but I thought your room was bigger...
Your seat is very nice too. Looks inviting.
Congrats !

Jim, nicely done with the panels. They look fantastic. Anyone entering the room will not even suspect that they're acoustic treatments.

Jim it the room looks very welcoming and the listening chair looks very comfortable. How do these treatments affect the sound in your room, can you post if you hear any difference ? I agree with Alberto the 3 piece violin is very nice looking.

The room, THE CHAIR, the GIK ArtPanels, THE CHAIR, your equipment, and THE CHAIR, all look super. . .

I am extremely interested in the panels and look forward to your evaluation about how they improve the sound. The panels really look like a decorator put them in place to beautify the room, and do not look like acoustic panels.

P.S. I also want THE CHAIR.

Julian

Thanks for all of the comments. I really did not have much time to sit and critically listen when I finished last evening. I should have time after I re-run Room Correction today.

I am not expecting a huge difference since I previously had large home made panels across the back wall. I should see some benefit from the front wall and replacing the pictures on the side walls with panels may help too.

Jim

Very nice! I've been using Glenn's stuff for about 5 years. A great product for a fraction of the price of the "other guys".
