Ok. I have some very good results to report.
I've been stuffing my midrange horn (250hz lecleach with BMS4592nd-midrangeonlyversion) with some 20-hole-per-inch open cell foam. As per Mr. Geddes.
Its not coming out.
1. I can now play louder with no shreiking in the upper mids. In fact I'm not very good at setting a reasonable playback volume now.
2. I've now been able to move my crossover much higher - 5k at the moment. Was a problem there before.
3. Much more coherant musical-space effect.
4. Near field listening has improved (its very exciting)
5. no loss of dynamics. as far as I remember.
6. fantastic 'ease'
7. Can't stop listening to music...
did anyone else here try this?
(I'm sorry if this should be attatched to another thread - )
