Sealed Bipole with Fostex FE12(6/7)E

[alexmoose]

Okay, hypothetically.....

lets say that I was so desperate to hear my new speakers, that I didn't dampen the main chamber, and now that I have calmed down a little bit, I took the time to go through and dampen in properly, what qualitative improvements should be apparent? I ask this because I want to know if the increase in quality is more than placebo.

Things should get less lumpy.

Lumpy, I like that adjective, and I agree, things do sound a lot tighter, better imaging, less....lumpy!

Listening to Radio Head's Pablo Honey right now, good, except I swear I can hear the sampling frequency at certain parts...

Stuffing makes the box appear bigger to the speaker. In a sealed box it should move F3 and F6 down a Hz or two. You should damp the walls of the upper chamber to help reduce the potential for reflections. Also, it would not hurt to put a little felt on the back of the magnets.
