Re: Second the traps, plus...

Would you believe I already went through crash A/B tests?

I did a quick spike mod to my stands (conical snowbaord binding washers) to remove the little damping effetc of the thick tape : less resonance.

I am happy with that.

I also tryed with the pads between the speakers and the stands : not much effect.

Then I tried the foam pads behind the speaker : to my surprise, I could no difference, except maybe that things where worse. I suspect that the pads must have worsten the wall effect since they were not thick and soft enough (as regular bass trap usually are).

The walls being what they are, I figure that if I go with thin panels (because of space limitation), it would be better that they reflect to get all that bass away from the wall rather than add to the nautral resonance of that same wall.


Conclusion : for now it will spikes under the speakers; second : I should move -- quick; latter, I might go with one nice and big JR bass trap cylinder.
