Does auralex fail??

[RedMed427]

Ok ive been contemplating working on the acoustics of my room for a while and ive been looking at a couple companies. So far the only thing im interested in from auralex is their lenrd's and the cornerfill's. I plan on using the lenrd's on the front and back wall-ceiling intersection and in 2 corners along with the cornerfill's that I wont be able to use a corner trap because of a door and a window.

So any ways back to the question...Are the lenrd's worth it?

Understand that I'm biased because I sell a competing product. With that in mind, here is a direct comparison of the performance of Auralex LENRD bass traps to the MiniTraps and MondoTraps my company sells:

See the second graph down, near the top of the page. And please don't be shy about following up with any questions.

IMO, the LENRDs are not worth it. They're not very good in the subwoofer range and frankly, they're just not enough surface area unless you buy a ton of them. We have products that will absolutely do a MUCH better job down low than they will as does Ethan.

I wish I had a $ for every studio customer I have that comes to me asking for 'real bass treatments' after they bought LENRDs and found out they didn't work very well down in the very low end.
