Helmhotz resonators for audiophile at almost no cost and without calculus...
Spoiler alert 🚨 It was a folded horn, three straight sections of pipe, each five feet long, connected by elbow joints. 📎 Leaned up against the rear wall it hardly took up any space at all. 🤗Pop quiz - How long is a tuba if unfolded?

The cups of water need to be in front of the speakers. Have you put a resonator on top of the speakers yet? I once built a Helmholtz resonator that was fifteen feet long.

Actually all you need to have is a temperature differential of 20 to 30 degrees F to hear the bowls of water. That means you can get by with cold tap water. Putting ice in the water is just uh, icing on the cake and to add some complexity. 😬 I deb... 
Your vote: Most Useless Audio Adjective
Wow! A thirteen year old thread bubbles up to the surface.

Hey, that reminds me! 🤗 Has anyone tried the water bowl tweak? Here’s how it works. You place three medium size bowls of *ice water* on the floor about two feet out from the speakers, one bowl in front of each speaker and one bowl between the othe...
