Auralex also got pirate version. Anyway, can pm me the price and where to get? Might want to get some for additional sound treatment for my HT room.

We have compared Auralex & this non-branded panels side by side. The shape size, colors and the cuttings are identical and most importantly, the intensity or compression of the foam is the same (not the softer type like the dish-washer foam). For the pricing, I would say you can save half the price of Auralex per piece... rclxms.gif


For actual price, you better pm Junwei, Sound Fusion. He orders in bulk & can get cheaper some more. I think he is willing to ship over from Kch to KL. These items are selling HOT in Kch here & currently running out of stock. More ppl here are discovering the importance of room treatment. After my room has been treated with these, the booming effect has almost diminished and eventually mid to high freq has become clearer. As my sofa is 1ft away from back wall, I use 3 absorption panels to reduce the reflection & creates a more space ambience at the back.


On another note, by proper installing (not too many) in your room you will know the true characteristic of your speakers, whether they performed up to task tongue.gif

Aftr sayin tat, if u dont find any diff now, then u r gud to go..

I normally watch Astro and Blue Ray dics with it. They sounded okay. Just that sometimes I find the dioloque not loud enough. And sound of the surround isn't loud enough too. Is my Amplifier a good one? Which denon model does it comparable to?

Did you calibrate it properly or have you run the MCACC in the Pioneer LX-50?

Yes, I did run the MCACC. The readings from the test run seemed fine. Maybe I just prefer to have an higher surround sound.

Does anyone here have the same Amplifier, LX-50, or similar? Please share your experience with it. notworthy.gif

[ BTW, seems like it is cheaper to buy Blue Ray Discs from US Amazon. My worries are, if you buy from Amazon, will you really get it if they send to you? You know what they say about the custom officers in our country. hmm.gif ]
