In Reply to: Re: Best Speaker Damping Material ? posted by kenster on May 8, 2007 at 18:29:26:
I was playing around with midrange damping on my Von Schweikert VR 4JR's.
I tried fiberglass, wool, and Dacron.
I ran out of Dacron, and in desperation, cut up an expensive bed pillow!
My Dog had her way with it, and so it was time.
I expected Dacron to be in it.
Instead, it was cotton!I put the Cotton in, and it sounded so good, it is still in there!
It sounds alive and efficient, almost like no damping at all, but the coloration's are also gone!
The best of all worlds!
BTW, good for you playing with damping!
Big gains can easily be had "tuning" your speakers this way.
I have also had great luck swapping around tweeters and midranges from one side to the other!
Just listen to one speaker at a time, and try both midranges and tweeters in it until it sounds best by itself.
Once I find a combination I like, and get the damping right, I also like to just use Silicone to hold the drivers in w/o screws.
This seems to reduce cabinet talk, and open the image up.
The drivers can easily be pried out if need be.
