Hey Doug,

Wow man those pictures look great.. Thank you so much for taking the time to not only take the pictures but describing the effects you are receiving.. Most people just don't understand how much the room can effect sound..

>1) The wire you send with the panels for hanging them hurts when you poke yourself with a strand (yes I found out). I ended up using 16 gauge speaker wire with the plastic sheathing and tied it to the eyelets. This worked very well and was much easier to work with.<

I am going to give this some thought and see if maybe we can come up with something.. Either that or I am going to send Band-Aids with the panels.. smile

>2) On the stands, I ended up putting an extra eyelet on each side towards the bottom and an extra eyelet at the bottom of each panel to be mounted on the stands. I then used twine to pull the panels secure against the frames at both the top and bottom. Just securing the top did not keep the panel secure enough against the stand and when moving them if would fall down over the horizontal ridge at the bottom. Adding the eyelet and twine negated this and the panels can be easily moved without coming off.<

The stands are brand new, so I am sure it will go through many changes.. The thought at first was to make a stand that even the DYI people could use, so your idea would still work well..

>3) You should sell some sort of mounting brackets as well. I ended up using some small knobs (they were actually pieces from my old speaker brackets) that only required two screws so I wouldn't have to really deface any walls. These would be especially helpful when trying to space something out away from the wall.<

We did come up with something for the corner mounting but after we installed it we concluded that it still was not any easier to mount.. Work in progress, work in progress.. smile


Before you buy any more panels get the ceiling done and lets see what you have.. I know I should tell you just to buy more, but it will become more clear what you need after the ceiling is done..


Keep me posted,

Glenn
