In problem rooms, speakers have sound quality ranging from fair to bad -- it's almost impossible to get good or excellent sound quality in a problem room.You can experimemnt with reduced treble output simply by taping a square of one-ply toilet paper over the tweeter. This will take one square of toilet paper, one inch of scotch tape, take one minute to do, cost about one cent, and is completely reversible in one second per speaker! If you like the result, be sure the toilet paper is taped to the baffle behind the grille cloth (hopefully not visible) this trick will work with the toilet paper taped directly to the grille cloth ... but the wife will think you've lost your mind.
This black felt or black fabric can work too -- but if you can't see light through the fabric, then it mqy block too many high frequencies when placed in front of a tweeter.
If you like the toilet paper effect, then you will have joined the legendary ranks of recording engineers who used this "toilet paper trick" on their Yamaha NS10 monitor speakers to reduce treble output in the recording studio when they sat very close to these speakers.
And we wonder why so many recording have such mediocre sound quality!
