Ozzy,
No, you do what's sounds best for you in your system. I just explained my experience and what sounded best in my system. I'm just passing on what I learned and hope it maybe useful for someone else. If you think, your room will sound better without the Tube traps then do an experiment and remove them and then place them back in and report back here what you experienced. Good or bad, I like to hear what others experience. Maybe it will save you some $$$ if you like what you hear without them. I like to hear stories where people save some cash and then maybe it will apply to me. that's all. Thanks. Joe
