> are there not any set testing 'standards' that you guys can test too? <
There are standards, but none for corner mounting, which is a shame because bass traps work best when mounted in corners. Even with the standards, labs vary as much as 50 percent or even more. Especially at low frequencies. At 63 Hz the difference between Riverbank and IBM seems to be 5.5 to 1. Not so useful, eh?

Then why are you telling me to "get off your back" and accusing me of calling your customers "bottom feeders?" That's not very nice, and it's not true. Hey, I appreciate a good bargain as much as the next guy. So I'm a bottom feeder too. Heck, I'm a cheap bastard! You should have seen me at the supermarket last night comparing prices to save 10 cents on Light Sour Cream.
> it would have to be the one without wood sides, but "A" testing did not show this. <
Indeed. It's also the panel without the wood back side.

> you have excellent an placement gid for the control room but nothing for the liveroom vocal room or drum room! <
Placement for a live room is much more variable than for a control room. In this case it's best to consider each situation separately, and I spend a lot of my time helping people plan their placement. But there are general guidelines on our site for this, and some of my magazine articles there go into more detail.
