RE: Ergo... Constrained layered damping has yielded superb results in my experience _nT

Yes, a lot of places say that. But it's not raising the resonance that stops the panels from vibrating, it's making them stiffer. When you make them stiffer it also raises the resonance, but that's just a byproduct. If raising the resonance was what really mattered we'd make all of our speakers from eighth inch plywood. And yes, constrained layer is one way of doing it. It's just not the way I prefer to use, based on having compared all the options.
