You can find more out about the Argent on DIY copy cat threads.The tubes are spaced apart from each other at different distances and a tuned at different resonant frequencies. They are a modified Helmholtz resonators..and by their placement they d... 
Speaker Treatment To Resist Negative External Infuence
Paint is absorbed thru the pores and glue of the wood sealing the wood and changing the shear and vibration path. Mass in this case is less a factor than shear velocity.The cabinet is a passive radiator of sound but dont over damp with soft goop b...

Find or build Argent Rooms Lenses these allow you to capture and reshape the sound waves to your listening chair. Natural lambs wool is a great material to construct your own panels and cover to your liking. Tom

Transformers generate resonance as do all stationary  electronic signal parts and all moving parts. The fact that all your components are made of many metal and many more plastic types they all have a different resonance of shape and time..That in...

Try increasing the laminar flow in your room .. it and the contents begin to disappear. Best room conditioning I ever did. Tom

Hello Nonoise.The link you posted from Akiko Audio seems to show breaker units that are fitted with silver fuses. Do you know if these breaker types are replacement plugins for what we use here in the USA? Thanks for the link. Tom

I use magnets that are cryo treated they are  great. Ride at your own risk. Last fuse blown was 35 years ago and 3 houses past. ARC SP11..Tom
