Has anyone tried the new Stillpoints Aperture II Acoustical panels?
Have the original Apertures in my music room. Didn’t know there was a revision to a II series - at least not on their website.
New vendor is building them.Quote:

“The new panels have better fit and finish, also trap from larger area, but otherwise sound the same.”
They do not trap from a larger area... their "mouth" is the same height and length. The internal cavity is a little larger... that is all. This misinformation is insaneQuote:

You still have a problem? I think you owe me an apology.
Bruce is a great sales guy... thats all. Again, they do not trap from a larger area, only the internal volume is a bit larger. There is a foam perimeter just beneath the cloth fabric. That foam panel opening is the same on the old and new.

Recently, Stillpoints announced the Aperture II ($800 each), which, among other things, moves the screen structure forward so that it’s flush with the surrounding wooden frame. They claim that this makes it possible for the Aperture II to capture more air movement.
Myles, do you have some sort of vested interest in stillpoints?
I guess I should be honored. You are the first person in my 32 years of reviewing to question my honesty.Quote:
