You have the correct name.
I have seen the plan from GIK and not very happy with their ideas of how to treat the room. Seems counterproductive to place diffusors over top of absorbers, when all that is needed is a diffusor. You just pay a lot more and I am sure it makes them happy.
The SonitusUSA treatments are much reduced and makes more sense to me.
The chairs headrest is all the way down so that my head is over it. :)

In my case, I needed both diffusion and absorption. I had an acoustician besides GIK who physically came to my place and confirmed the same. 8)
Good to know your headrest is below your head. 8)
EDIT: BTW, GIK offers diffusers only if that's all you need/want.

GDHAL,
I have an estimate coming from an acoustician to cost out measuring, modeling and coming up with a plan to acoustically treat my room. Should have the proposal tomorrow.
Cool thing is the acoustician already knew about HAL and had some questions about my services. A small world.
My room will need absorption, diffusion and bass traps to correct it, even though it has very good dimensions. First reflection point absorption on the side walls and ceiling this time.
Will see what happens.

Attend to the corners, Rich. 90 degree intersections SUCK - out mids. They are the single worst problem in every small room. Pay particular attention to the four upper tri-corners where walls and ceiling intersect. Comb filtering, honky nightmares!

Hi P.I. I'm in zip 11520. With virtually zero notice you can stop by my place. After (actually during) listening, I think you'll change your mind about 90 degree intersections suck out the mids in the corner. Bring your measurements gear too! :rofl: 8) :rofl: 8) :thumb:
