I have no experience with Auralex, but I did get taken by primacoustics marketing. Big Mistake.
About a year ago I spent a fair chunk of change on one of their "studio in a box" type kits.
While their thinner panels are useful for HF damping, the "bass traps" (which are large foam wedges) are utterly useless in the LF for which they are intended. Big waste of time and money. At least in my experience. What you end up with is a room that is tonally out of balance. All of the HF damping makes the room sound tight if you were to clap your hands but bass tones from instruments and even voices will still ring and have a longer decay. Making the reverb response of the room very bass heavy. Not to mention the fact that any room modes below 250 hz will still be problematic.
Since then, I had some custom 8 ft membrane panel absorbers built ala Ethan's designs and put in the rear corners of the control room. these were measurably effective but I still need more.
I am about to order 8 mini traps to complement these and finish the control room. Can't wait......
