Ok the panels arrived yesterday so here are my first impressions.
Do they make a difference? Absolutely. I am amazed at how four panels can totally change the sound and dynamics of my room. It's so different
So all good?? Well I am not so sure yet. The brightness has definitely been tamed, by quite a bit too. So that is what the aim was. Music seems more rounded and softer, but my first impressions are I miss the attack and punch of my untreated room. Definitely sounds a little duller. So I will see how I feel after a few more days. Dull may be a tad harsh word to use.
Volume has to go up about three notches too, but that's not really a problem.
As an experiment I put the panels up and played the same track five times and then took them down and played it again. The brightness was very evident straight away.
The tracks I struggled with before all sound better and much less bright.
Starting to think that this is all like a trade off .......get rid of something but have to forego something else.
Biggest downside for me is that they are pretty ugly and I am not sure I will be able to get used to them. Daughter comes tomorrow she's going to hate them
