He is not my broker per se' but I just found him on craigslist. He is selling a lot of stuff and I think him and his partner also do work with a guy Jason I know who owns http://www.gearorphanage.com. You could find this guy on craigslist pretty easy he has a list a mile long of gear for sale look under craigslist and they are in studio city. Don't remember the name right off hand but I buy 90% of my new stuff from http://www.micworks.com and that is who I would call my gear guy. His name is Kirk.
What are you looking for?

The Auralex stuff is ok for the High end and maybe down to the midrange, unless you've got some "lenrd" corner absorbers included in there. START WITH THE CORNERS and then deal with the flat surfaces as needed. Make your corner absorbers as large/deep as possible - you won't be dissapointed. Use Owens Corning 703 (or similar) - it's inexpensive and it really works. If you start with the "flats", you run the risk of knocking out to much high end and early reflections and creating a very unnatural sounding space. It's probably also a good idea to use some poly-cylindrical ("polys") diffusers on the large flat walls. Whatever you do, don't just go slapping faom everywhere!!! Good luck

Don't go slapping anything anywhere until you have a acoustics tech in there. You can't compromise on something so important. Does not matter how good your gear is or how much you have, if your acoustics are not right, it won't matter, even more so where you set up for monitoring.

I used RPG foam, very dense. You can double up or triple up on the thickness of the 2x2' square which well absorb lower frequencies.

Once again, start with the corners! Always start with the corners! This where low frequencies build up, and they NEED to be treated (an "acoustics tech" will tell you this too...). Good Luck
