"to see if you can actually see the difference"

Of course you could.

@criscros7 LOL, did I say that? *face palm* I do that all the time now, like I call my AmpHour listeners "viewers" :->

Great job as always Dave. I love the feeling of a DIY job well done and the panels look excellent. I'm planning a little cinema project for the summer and hope to do something very similar.

Cheers

@xspoonedx Yeah, it was a lot of work, but very satisfying in the end.

5:12 is a job for Better Homes & Gardens hahaha. (Sorry, I'm also a craft nut).

The Aboriginal art print is awesome! Of course, if I did it, I'd have probably sourced some binary print material (to match my binary print slanket [snuggie]). Nerdy!

[DagGirl]

It's called Reverberation! REPEAT! Reverberation! Wrong terminology :P

I should send you my DIY studio setup assignment I did for AV installs class. The doona was optional!

"Reverb a problem? STICK A DOONA IN THE CORNER!"

I like the black ones, but the fish-lookin' ones I don't like. You did a great job putting those together. I want to do it, but I have nowhere to put them with panel walls and ceiling xD.

You are staple-happy, my friend. It happens to me as well every time I decide to wield a staple gun :)
