Anyone Damp the insides of your Speaker Cabinets?


Do most speakers sound best in cabinets that resonate as little as possible? Why or why not? Is there something any of you have applied to the inside of your speaker cabinets to keep them from resonating, and achieved a more pleasing sounding speaker?

Some manufacturers factor the resonate nature of the enclosure into the overall sound of loudspeaker. The thinking is that most dampening simply smears and delays the resonate behavior without truly eliminating it. Having a cabinet that quickly releases rather than storing energy is thus seen as an advantage.

Applying additional dampening material will definitely change the sound of a loudspeaker, but it could just as easily sound worst.
