GIK- Class Act Company!

Today I received a very nice gift. In my journey to proper room treatments, I have tried a lot of different options. The first option I tried was the basic panels from GIK. When the panels arrived they had some shipment damage and were pretty basic and this along with the fact that the wife didn’t want panels on her walls led to a quick return. I talked to Glen at GIK and he fully understood and told me they would have some high end panels coming out in the near future.

In the meantime, I have built the DIY panels using the Ready Acoustic frames as many of you have seen. They look nice and the wife likes them.

Well the doorbell rang today and a truck dropped of a nice big box. In this box was a gift from GIK which consisted of 2 Elite panels. These are very nice panels with awesome wooden frames that are very well constructed using an inner frame that appears to be a ¾’’x1.1/2’’ with the fabric and mineral board housed in that and then the solid maple wooden frames is on the outside of this and are 4’’x ½’’ with a beveled face. I can’t wait for the wife to get home and see these as she is going to love them. They just happen to perfectly match our crown molding and cabinets.

Glenn has gone out of his way on showing what a top notch company he has and I am very pleased with this level of service and the quality of the new Elite panels.

Excellent! Those look nice. Wow! That was a gift!?? So, tell me, Greg. What did you do to get a gift like that!? :confused: :p

That's just great customer service. I had the shipping damage on the originals and then we ran into a PayPal problem that delayed my refund. Glen knew I was pretty frustrated and I guess he "took care of me".

I think the most important question is where am I going to put all these. My wife approved 2 panels and now I have 6! I am pretty sure Carolyn is going to want all of them to look like the Elites now.

Lets vote

When I get back from the gym, I will hang the new panels behind the speakers and take pictures of them and the RA frames and we can vote for which ones look best and should stay on the wall.

Then, when Carolyn gets home I can change it to what ever she tells me to...:eek:

I think maybe it was just a strategy to get you to buy more Elites! :D

I know right... I would love a new Ultra, and some MTS speakers to match, especially after the glowing reviews they have gotten.

Well, Greg, Carolyn just pointed you towards a new hobby, woodworking:D
Now you can copy their design and finish. And, if you excel, just think of all the honey-do project that will line up:D

Vote

Well, the RA frames win in my opinion for behind the speakers simply because the black frames tie in the black speakers and black TV. In reality the GIK frames are nicer and really tie in to the woodwork of the house. They will be hung on my wall just not behind the speakers.

What do you guys think?

Now I need help deciding where they will work the best.

They both look very nice.

Is the color of the face of the panel exactly the same? I don't remember where you got the material and I'm too lazy to go back to your other post right now.:eek:

The color is really close considering they are from two different places in two different states. I bought mine from a local fabric shop and the GIKs came like that.

Not until you think back and remember that I am well trained in MMA!
Is that something that one could use on women to make them do as one wills? :D No really, what is that? :)

Edit: BTW, I really like the black frames.
