Help with floor bounce diffuser

[Kvali1]

Hi all, so I did go ahead and order few AGS items through Bek Hifi ; the taller ST1 towers, floor bounce diffuser and the mini diffuser ; just arrived earlier today and I listened to some music this evening; overall first thoughts are very favorable , the sound stage seems deeper and more organic . There is a certain clarity and crispness to the sound as well. Over next couple weeks I will play around with the tower location but so far I’m very impressed .

Interesting design, and fairly easy and cheap to DIY. This concept could also make a nice ceiling fixture (perhaps even with transparent acrylic bars?).

As it turns out, wood dowels are fairly expensive. In their videos AGS explain that they did test a variety of materials, including acrylic, and found wood performed best.

Anyway, their "studio" is pretty cool, though a little "over the top" for us audiophiles. It would be interesting to visit it and find out for ourselves how this all performs.

@Kvali1 can you take a straight down pic of the diffuser in front of one of the speakers? I’m trying to Wrap my head around what these are exactly.

Hi! Yes , those , I got a pair and also one mini and one pair of their towers , I believe they had a positive impact, deeper and broader soundstage , also seems to have helped with bass in the room. They are well made and look nice.

What a well produced marketing video. However, it seems that these products are useful for adding their own sonic contribution to music making, e.g., tonal variations. Would they have a similar colouration effect on music playback? How predictable would this contribution be?
