Leroy Schwarz Listening Room with Wlson
Alexandria Speakers
Step 1 in ASC’s recommendations for
my purpose-built listening room (e.g., double drywall screwed
to articulated studs, all interior walls insulated, floating
concrete floor, ) was a pair 20” Traps in the corners
behind the Alexandrias. These “big reds” allow me
to hear the deep, powerful bass that the Alexandrias are capable
of, and liberate the midrange and treble from “mud”
that I didn’t know had been there. Not until it disappeared.
Every sonic attribute is better, too; e.g., quiet spaces are
quieter, the sound stage is more spacious. I had not really
heard my Alexandrias until the “big reds” took up
residence. If you are using Alexandrias without TubeTraps, then
I’ll bet that you’re not hearing yours either.

Please find attached a recent photograph showing
two of the three PicturePanels in place. They really do make
a contribution to the sound, clarifying detail and space in
the music. You can also see one of the four 16” round
TubeTraps and the SubTrap on the right.

ASC's products let me tune the
room out of my music. Boom, blur, megaphone, side wall reflections,
rear wall bounce and the rest of the room's sonic problems overcome.
My first experience with ASC was more than a decade ago when
I called them looking for help tuning new electrostatics into
a room. ASC dialed the room right in. They are still here today
to help solve a side wall reflection problem in a new room,
and the fabric matches what's on the original traps and treatments.
Your largest component is your room and they make the best treatments
I've run across... great products, great service, great results,
and I still have those electrostatics.
Frans Deurenberg's Listening
Room
The Towertraps have
arrived! All three in excellent condition. First
impression is very good: the bass is much better controlled
and defined.
And as an extra bonus, the mids and highs are so much better
in clarity and
resolution. I must say: It's impressive what these Towertraps
can do!
Thank you for the time you
put into "my acoustic project"!
Best regards,
Frans Deurenberg.

When I explain what I have done to my
listening room to friends and family they think I've went completely
overboard. That is, right up to the point when they have the
opportunity walk into the room and experience a space unlike
any they have previously.
. . . Every
investment has taken my listening experience to yet another
level. The ASC journey was worthy of the effort required and
expense was truly an investment that continues to yield return.
Mark McMillen's Listening Room
Well I just got done installing a bunch of
Acoustic Sciences stuff: 20" SuperTraps in the corner behind
the right speaker, "Half Rounds" in the little hallway
leading to my bedroom, and another Half Round between the speakers,
four "PCAD" panels and
one "MatrixPanel"
behind the listening seat on the wall, and another "MatrixPanel"
on the wall over the record cabinet (first reflecion point).
This is only part of the stuff ASC came up with in their free
design for my room, but it was all I could afford. Really a
major upgrade in the sound. Definitely a bigger improvement
than 5 power cords (about the same price, too). So yeah, I feel
silly not doing it sooner!
Ken West's Listening Room
Well, let me know what you think. The
overall sound is amazingly improved from the previous set up.
It goes without saying, music reproduction is not about electronics...it's
about speakers interacting with a room. I'm most impressed with
the fantastic flexibility of this room set up. And the
subs appear to be disappearing in their original spot. Time
will tell....
Thanks again,
Ken West
Dawn Boyle's Listening Room
Dear Art,
It has been 1 year since I first fired up
my system. All of the electronic equipment has been properly
burned-in now. I have taken my time in learning to tune my
tube traps and now believe I have found the magic placement:
the midrange is glorious, crystal-clear sound staging, lots
of air around instruments and fast, tight, deep bass!
I just wanted to let you know that it was
a dream come true working with you and your staff @ ASC!

Dear ASC,
I
know the investment we placed on the Sound Panels and Bass
traps was
phenomenal 5 years ago but the outcome was well worth it.
We have visitors from all over the country
and some parts of the world. They cannot believe the sound
coming out of the room regardless of the
speakers that we set-up.
The layering, the soundstage, the decay,
the little nuances, details, the holography and involvement
in music is just an immense experience. While the equipment
used in this room are top notch, I believe their performance
is taken to another level with the ASC treatment. It was well
worth the effort.
