That was last nights late night exercise. They sit on plywood and I can walk them around on the tile floor. This put the speaker face 10 feet from my ears. Also removed the MachOnes. Maybe good speakers but not for me. It does sound better but I think some of that is a result of dropping the top speakers down after the Mach removal.Or to save all that moving around just to try it, move your speaker out from the wall and the cabinet face parallel to the backs of the speakers
I doubt anyone was motivated by either factor. Add choice "C" - offer helpful advice for better sound.I assumed from the start many people had silent opinions and didn't want to insult me or start a ruckus.

I don't have silent opinions. When I have opinions -- which I prefer to call "immutable and indubitable truths" -- I express them noisily, and if that starts a ruckus or a few tender snowflakes melt in the onslaught, well...I assumed from the start many people had silent opinions and didn't want to insult me or start a ruckus.
Well I wouldn't question or ask you to change any of your truths.I don't have silent opinions. When I have opinions -- which I prefer to call "immutable and indubitable truths" -- I express them noisily, and if that starts a ruckus or a few tender snowflakes melt in the onslaught, well...
Good.
You can easily feel the vibrations from speaker cones on unused speakers. Anything that vibrates along with the active speakers has a negative effect on the sound.
I had no idea regarding this, so I am really screwed with 4 pairs of speakers in the wings not active. And simply shorting the binders stops them from vibrating?
Shorted speaker terminals creates an electrical load on the windings that causes them to act like an electromagnetic brake, limiting the movement of the cone.And simply shorting the binders stops them from vibrating?
Someone pointed out in an earlier thread that the led lights on their non connected speakers were twinkling. The speaker is a motor. I guess the motor can be run in reverse. If you short them you apply the brakes, I think.I had no idea regarding this, so I am really screwed with 4 pairs of speakers in the wings not active.

But, but ,but.....Makes sense. Thanks for the tip I will try it.
So, please everyone, let's just try to see things from a viewpoint other than our own. We're not audio police. We're enthusiasts.
LMFAO.I go back and read some of my first posts here, and whoa......was I ever green, and wrong. Flatly embarrassing.
I wasn't going to say it but yes, I'm one to take advantage. And the more they spend the faster I learn.LMFAO.
How about a.....#Me Too
Oh and by the way, I don't look at any thread a wast or anything like that. Even if the OP seems off base, the side stuff is helping someone like quiet....
...there needs to be a way to counter viewpoints...
Yes a good me too is definitely in order! I think I may have even mentioned something along the lines of diminishing returns..LMFAO.

Not really.But, but ,but.....
They may be more to the story. What I want to know is. Since the led lights were blinking and we know the drivers were moving does that mean the damping material inside the speaker is acting as a room treatment?
Yes, it's absorbing audio energy, particularly at the frequencies where the cone vibration is greatest.Or is the cone vibration just messing things up like other things in the room can.
