I'm a little confused

First, it appears by your reaction that you actually doubted what I have been saying for years was correct, and that wood (if it did anything) was marginal, or if it was doing anything my reasoning why was wrong.

So one day on a whim apparently you go to the extreme of gluing something to your drivers to see what happens, and suddenly you have a revelation? For years you've been chiding me how much better "your way" was, and if that's the case why did you even have a desire to glue stuff to your frames? Shouldn't you be listening to music?

Yet even now you're still dismissing wood in a way. The man made goop is so wonderful even wood can benefit from it too you guess?

...... sigh

Well, I'm glad you had your revelation, but it isn't a revelation. I've been saying and defending this for years now. I have no idea why it took so long to sink in for you. You must be one of those kids who refuses to get that the stove is hot until you yourself get round to burning yourself on it.

Mass has nothing to do with it, and rigidity has nothing to do with it, and the other poster was wrong because maggies made out of corian would sound like crap. The problem is and has always been vibration and removing it. Period.

I have been telling everyone properly made wooden frames will do this, and they will do so entirely . Nothing else is needed, and adding this isn't going to help them. There is after all a ceiling where no more good can be done, and if anything over dampening will occur.

I doubt very much that this material can do the job as well as wooden frames do. After all you yourself keep reporting improvements every time you glue another scrap on, wooden frames don't improve by adding more wood because the job has been entirely done already. And from the aesthetics point of view... well that's not even comparable.

To be honest I'd rather your revelation had been to go and take a wood shop class and make the damn things the right way, but to each his own, and as you have shown you are not a flower that chooses to run with the herd. :^ )

Well, like John Lennon said when his fans were destroying the limo he was in "Let them go... they paid for it after all."

Shine on you crazy diamond :^ )

It's all about the music...
