DIY looks better


I have bought some products from GIK and though I'm very happy with their performance, I have to say my DIY looks better. I think it's the same with other ones you buy from other companies as well. They really don't look that great unless they cost very much like ASC products.

I've simply built a frame to fit rockwool acoustic panels (probably same as 703,705s or whatever you call them), and pulled a cheap fabric of cotton/linen from IKEA. Fabric after taste can of course be chosen and changed when one get bored of them. Marimekko has some nice ones, but they're expensive.

The pictures are not that good, but they give an impression. I'll hang them up later. If anyone wonders why my speakers are placed on books like that, it's because they are temporarily front ones till my new babies arrive.
