I agree with both of you.. it is a sound director and an acoustic resonator. While the front side is directive the back side is reflective so positioning to the rear wall is important. Like Roxy I wondered if this unit could be mimicked in some wa... 
How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre
Geoff,Every product you have mentioned at length is a transducer..a converter of one energy form to another energy form. All transducers have loses and yes that's (what you want) and (how you think). The Star Sound products are not based on that s...

Back in the day the chemistry of choice made the vibrations more active and apparent. Active Engagement was the descriptive term. Coupled resulted in a better body rush than isolation. Same is true in this day and age all in the context of audio r...

and with that thought..Pot this, a palm tree in a brass container mechanically grounded to the floor with Audio Points or a small Sistrum Platform. Why not make your organic acoustic comb filter more reactive and beneficial especially if grounded ...

ToptenMaybe you were referring to these 99 balloons.Nena - 99 Luftballons - YouTube www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CnDvtwYn6IBut you still have the issue of self generated noise that would need to be directed to ground and then there is always the fear ...

High Fidelity Cables -- A revelatory experience
The magnets used hold a permanent charge unless you heat them up past 170F so I have read in other published sources.. I once tried to demagnetize some neo magnets for a special purpose and cooked at 500F for 30 minutes and they still seemed to ho...
