Synergistic Research Acoustic ART analogue room tr

Anyone like t take a stab at this "new" form of room treatment?

Specially tuned and treated carbon steel bowls that, carefully placed in the listening room on proprietary platforms, tune music reproduction, tighten bass, adjust tonal balance, and focus sound.

I'd like to take a stab at whoever is responsible for this nonsense! The Greeks and Romans used "sounding vessles" in their open-air theaters to produce reverberation, not a desireable trait for audio listening.

A dealer demoed similar things in my room before. The whole set was about $4k to $5k. Yes, it made some diffences. Was it worth it? No. I just can't see myself spending $5k for some tiny little thingy.

I listened to the system and very much liked the results I would advise listening to it before making a judgment.

at 4g no way at least not for cups the size of small rice bowls. The units are to small to make any difference, so case closed...

The same people who brought you "quantum tunneling" and other ludicrous phony science money making schemes.
