OK. Got this brilliant idea. It may be patentable, but I doubt if anyone will get rich off of it.
Use Stealth technology to improve loudspeakers! Seems somewhat similar to that squarish device claiming to correct room resonances and selling for exorbitant amounts of money!!
Anyway, I've just invented a loudspeaker enhancement device that solved an acoustic problem I was having.
Here is what it looks like: Now tell me what problem I was solving and I will tell you afterwards. See if you get it right?
Follow Ups:
You had a reflective rear wall which then shot back to the front wall and back again in the high frequencies.
Stealth == reflecting higher frequencies in directions other than back-at-you.
I know that Michael Green was known for 'room tuning'. But why hasn't anybody thought about tuning devices applied to loudspeakers? I remember one that was supposed to be attached to the rear of a loudspeaker. I forgot what it was called, though.
are you going to tell us the answer to the riddle yet?
Still, just because you have a simple explanation that fits the facts doesn't mean that the significance of it is completely grasped.
I had my wife A/B'ing setups last night because we all know that audiophiles can hear wires, but only Ws can hear the music ;-)
She couldn't believe her eyes and kept asking me to remove them and then put them back up!
I'm currently working on some more modern looking corrective devices that I want to apply to mulimedia loudspeakers. I am thinking of some Darth Vader'ish looking wing-shaped attachments. Actually, like this B&W loudspeaker:
The riddle continues though: What happens when you flatten the perspective of the squarish attachment? Do you think the frequency range changes??
Does everyone get a soundstage that goes all the way back to the rear wall and then out to the sides wider than the loudspeaker positions? I got to try this on my main loudspeakers though to really confirm its universality.[Yep, it works on a completely different system, much larger room, different everything including that the loudspeakers this time are larger and positioned 4 feet from the rear wall rather than just 3 feet. Admittedly, it shouldn't make any difference once the separation from the rear wall is > 5 feet or so! Got to try it.]

You had a cat who loved to sleep on top of your speaker?
No. But interesting use.
