Home High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

RE: Perforated speaker cabinets

It seems unlikely to me, at least at low frequencies where box volume tunes the cabinet.

Transmission loss is dominated by stiffness below resonance, damping around resonance, and mass above resonance. The holes will reduce stiffness, and the granite will increase mass, so it should help above the resonance frequency and hurt below. Damping is hard to guess without knowing the specific panel material and installation method.

Typical panels resonate at a few hundred Hz. Of course the are multiple resonances above the first one, but the same rules apply to them too.

I hope that is helpful.
