I've acquired 23 tube traps over the last couple months along with 8 sound panels. I've learned that a properly treated room makes a tremendous difference in sound quality. In fact, I am of the opinion that a mid-fi system in a room with good acoustics sounds better than a hi-fi system in a room with poor acoustics. The ASC tube traps helps to get the acoustics in order. I plan on acquiring at least a dozen more next year ranging from 11" to 24" (I've eaten up my hi-fi budget for this year).
