BIGGEST HiFi Room Acoustics Mistake - Audiophile Setup 

For more info on these you can reach out to the US Distributor here: axissaudio.com/

I really like your unique down to earth/normal format - maybe it’s just you being yourself.

I think if there's one metric we should all be able to agree upon, it's that a room's reverb/decay characteristics (RT60) will have perhaps the most significant influence over the fidelity of recorded music reproduction. These stick "diffuser" devices may perform well in your room, but they will do little to correct modal activity (and to your credit, you recommended thick absorbers to address bass frequencies [worth noting is that velocity absorbers like 6" porous absorbers work primarily down to mid bass only]) and little to correct a very reverberant space (regardless of size).

That's because most absorbers aren't designed for music and voice. Most of them are some type of mineral wool, which has the wrong rate and level. That's the reason why they sound dead, the material used is simply not meant for music. But people buy them because they're cheap and the Internet tells them to.

Interesting take on a unique product.

Okay this a random vid i was waiting for in terms of those treatments…thx!

Hi Michael, great video and very interesting products but those things on the floor of a mixed use room are a big hazard and look funky. Instead why not hanging them on the ceiling? Let me guess …. the diffuser falling apart is a GIK Acoustics ? They have been in business for 20 years and their craftsmanship is still at DIY level. I have six of their Sound Block in my room behind the speakers. Effective product but poorly built, and poorly packaged. Half of the scatter plates arrived chipped. I had an argument with them and basically got thrown under the bus. Instead I have to praise Vicoustics from Portugal which I used to treat the ceiling with a mix of absorption and diffusion products. Sleek modern look and well built. They definitely belong to another league. I will soon throw away the GIK Sound Block and replace them with the Vicoustic Totem Ultra which I demo and works great so that all the acoustic treatment in my room will finally belong to the 21st century. May be I’ll give it a try to the SF1 also…

Hi Michael, I'm new to the channel, good video, I agree you can overdo it with treatment. Love the look of those speakers what are they? Thanks.

I painted my quadratic diffusers (QD-13) black. I don’t hear any difference in the affected range 280-3400hz but now you’ve got me curious. Going to look at some older REW measurements and see if anything has changed

Absorption was designed for recording studios. That's my belief, at least. I think they can have a place for hifi.. just depends on your room.

Is there a link to AGS? I was looking at Vicoustic for my new media room, but it’s expensive. They also seem more focused on absorption. I love your channel. You have interesting content that you dive deeper into than others.

I am unable to find anything online that shows me who is distributing these products and how to actually purchase them - what distributer did you go through for the US? Thank you!

Where on the link to aas can you find the diffusers? All i see is audio gear.

How much is the AGS mini Michael ?

Sorry for this nit-pick. But please, please, learn to pronounce Callas.
