Speaker felt for tweeters

[trinhsman]

I would like to add some felt around my tweeters. Can't seem to find it anywhere. Suggestions?

Not thick enough. Sorry.

The felt from Michaels is less than 1/8 inch thick. It is like a fabric. I would like 1/4-1/2 inch thick, similar to what is used on the LSA speakers. There was a guy online that used to make this, but his website does not work anymore. A company called Diffractionbegone. That product looked very promising to me. It is even mentioned on the forums here with glowing reviews.

Why not then get a roll of 3M thinsulate like DCM used to use.

Why do you want felt? It doesn't limit diffraction that much. I do have 2 sets of the same speaker, one with and one w/o and there really is no difference. Both came from the factory like that.

My speakers have been totally modified with new cabinets and no grills. It was suggested by Mike Morrow, from Morrow audio that I might want to try felt. He doesn't sell the felt, but knows my system from the cables I have bought from him as well as my posts on his forums. I just feel it would be worth a try. My cabinets are "hard right angles", so according to the research I have done, the felt should help. If I can buy it reasonable, it's worth a try. IMHO

I checked them out. Wonder if they would sell me about 2 feet of a felt strip..........kind of doubt it. I might email them and tell them what I am trying to do, and see if they have some scrap laying around, cheap.
