Helmhotz resonators for audiophile at almost no cost and without calculus...


The importance to treat the room if you have speakers, even in nearfield listening like me, is imperative ...

Here is my advice: 

Buy some big  empty wine bottles, or drink them before, it is optional....Or use some carafes, the kind that some display at the center of a table....I use plastic  wrapping sheets to tightly seal the aperture of the bottles and the carafes after pouring in them around 10 % of water in their volume space...You must listen and experiment for your taste and room to determine the exact amount of water to boost the frequencies that will benefit….After that  I peirce the plastic sheet with a needle and I insert a  thin straw with only the extremity of the straw at the top...  That its! You know have an Helhmotz resonator... 

You now have one of the more astounding tweak for a room that will transform your listening space in sound heaven ...I use more than 15 of them in my little audio room and trust me that is one of a kind upgrading...

I wrote that for those who want to experiment, the others can stay silent...My best to all...

My electrical grid and my audio grid are already cleaned with stones and crystals connected grid of my own design with great results... My nearfield systems is already treated against mechanical vibrations also with my sorbothane sandwiches... But these Helmhotz resonators put the system on another level... My room was already treated acoustically by me before these H.Resonators experiments...But with these H.R. the sound is clearer on all frequencies, the imaging better, and the listening positions possible in the room are way better...
By the way thanks to Geoffkait for his short articles about H.Resonators...I have begun  my experiments after reading that...My best to you...
Note - for a given volume V of the bottle the operating frequency of the resonator is completely controlled by the neck or nozzle, length and cross section area. Everything else in the Helmholtz equation is a constant.
Thanks Geoff...For this precision information...All my bottles had approximatively all the same volume except for some 2 variations linked to the species "carafe" or "bottle" with the same thin straw inserted in each one, that explain why the resulting effects are consistent and positive for my hearings... Better higher and bass frequencies, better imaging, better sound anywhere in my room... Spectacular effects... I luckily discover by chance it seems the right ratio between the volume of the bottle and the length and the cross section of the straw that act as a nozzle, for the right effects... 

By the way there is no negative impact on the sound with these carafe and bottles sealed with a straw inserted in them, except the placement  for sure in the room have an impact for the better or less … Then experimenting for the right placement is necessary...
