Hope you see this bartc.
Didn't have (easy) access to Microsorb (I don't live in the US) so moved on and tried Blu-tak, Power Tack actually, but I suspect there's not a large difference - it met what I figured was required.
I used it to damp the backs of my speakers Beryllium drivers, the woofers aluminium spiders/frames, the crossover. You need to know that I used boat loads of the stuff - you also need to know that its been terrifically successfull.
I suspect it'll be like Mortite and will harden somewhat over time - I'll check in 5yrs!
Last was the crossover - late last night I compared a finished speaker ie all drivers HEAVILY damped, crossover HEAVILY damped, with the speaker that had the drivers damped only. The undamped crossover is the only difference.
Well I'm stunned at the difference I can hear - it ain't subtle. Worst case scenario I guess - crossover directly behind the woofer.
