Theory is all good and well... just don't confuse a seductive or intellectually appealing theory with stepwise empirical application... I've installed these in "live" vocal production settings, so we're not listening to reproduced or amplified music, only to spoken or sung human voices, and they make a distinct difference that naive listeners can easily discern (to eliminate the placebo effect they were hidden behind a thin scrim curtain at the rear of the stage)... and yes, different alloys do distinctly different things... simultaneously I have a set in my office where I listen to reproduced music, and a third one at home that I play with on top of, behind, in front of my television... in every case, consistently, with the theramal veriations I have noticed before, there IS a powerful effect... and I'm a 50 year old guy with tinnitus... and, yeah, there is a store downstains from the studio which sells..... tibetan singing bowls ! And yup, they are all there, tuned to every note, so sometimes I go down and hang around the singing bowls and try to detect something... unlike the Tchangs, the bowls are tuned deep, to fundamentals, and thus I expect hard to energize... I have considered decorating the space behind my speakers with a "tibetan gamelan" made from a group of these bowls but they are quite large and have long decays...
