| How to "mount" acoustic foam ? I used the term deleterious. I am not denying that the foam tamed certain aspects of the sound. It did. And extremely effectively. Bass was reduced by a significant factor while higher frequencies were "tamed". Whether foam sounds bad in itself, I... | |

| Critique my setup @slaw Thanks man. Appreciate the info. I'll circle back. Apologies for the thread hijack! | |
