I got delivery of the Aurica panels 8 days after I had ordered them. Pretty good on Bajaao.com's part, I must say. I bought two 2' x 4.5' 12mm plywood panels last week. I hadn't been able to start on the plan I had, till this sunday.
I painted the panels (was not really needed, as I plan to cover them up and "prettify" them in some way soon) yesterday, and got them ready. Today night, just a couple of hours back, I pasted the Aurica panels onto the plywood panels with Fevicol SH (very liberal application was needed to get them to stick properly), and got them ready for testing.
Here's how I've got them set up in the room now.
I'm not really sure if I've got them at the exact first reflection points right now, as I need another hand to help with a mirror (I'll get my Mom to help me tomorrow). I guess they're set up very close to the right position, though.
I've been cycling through my Patricia Barber albums (my imaging and staging references) and the Diana Krall "Live in Paris" LP, and I do feel the imaging and staging has improved quite a bit. But I'm not sure if that's the DIYer's placebo either, heh heh.
iaudio and Gijo George will most likely be visiting me next week, and I'll get them to see how things are too, before I conclude on whether the experiment is successful enough.
I'll get around to making the panels look pretty soon. I might leave them as is (except for the part without the foam in the bottom) too, because I do like their business-like look now.
