Are the ones from "Real Traps" really good? The price is not cheap. I was wondering if they are worth it. In other words, are they the "Monster Cables" of room treatments or the "Axiom" (not cheap, but worth every penny)? If the are the "MC", what are the alternatives?

Thanks in advance.


I have not used Real Traps but I do have the Tri-Corner traps from GIK Acoustic. I would say that they do improve the room acoustics but I probably still need to treat the first reflection points. The build quality is average for this brand (the top and bottom plastic pieces could have been designed better but the fabric covering is pretty good). The first indication that I needed treatments in the corner came a couple of years ago when I put my Christmas tree in the corner and my system sounded much better. Check out GIK Acoustic and Echo Busters as alternatives.
