Tbg, they simply can't be doing anything to the sound waves once they're out of the speakers and into the air/room, because 400 years of experimental physics say it isn't possible. Maybe they have an affect on the working of the equipment itself? I wouldn't know, but that's not what the manufacturer asserts.
On the other hand, I'm in no position to refute what you say you experienced. What I strongly refute, however, is what you seem to believe caused that experience (i.e. the bowls.) So where does that leave us? Autosuggestion? Self-hypnosis? Herd mentality?
All those causalities are worth exploring, and maybe some others I've not thought of. But my point is that whatever mechanism is responsible for the experience of a difference, or improvement for the listener(s), lay with them, and not with the hardware.
One of the pillars of the art of magic, is "mis-directed attention". And who is to say one must have the services of a magician to accomplish it?
