I suppose this is useless without pics - I'll add some later. Anyway, after a number of GIK Acoustics purchases (which I am very happy with for the money) I decided to go with RPG for rear diffusion - based on Anthony Grimani's "recipe" for theater acoustics (which calls for 3D diffusion in the rear and ceilings).
Visually, for $400 - these things look like garbage. They are no better finished than any GIK product, and in fact arrived with some of the black paint scraped off the end pieces (the black finish I paid extra for, and was supposedly painted at the factory). The individual "towers" themselves, despite being painted, clearly look like cheap pieces of styrofoam, even in black, even from 5-8 feet away.
Acoustically I'm sure they perform as advertised - but aesthetically I was expecting something more finished at this price point.
At $50 each I would say I got a good value on these 2X2' pieces of plastic. At $200 per block I see this as a rip off.
Back to GIK for my future acoustics purchases - the only reason I got RPG in the first place is because GIK doesn't make a 3D diffusor.
