Review: Diffraction be gone Anti-diffraction tweeter surround Tweak

Lak, I'm not sure what the size and weight of my tweeters has to do with it because the product is a felt pad that sticks to the front of your speakers. You can find this product by typing diffraction into the general search box or by going to diffractionbegonedotcom.

Sorry,
I misunderstood the post.
My apologies.

Some time ago I tried sticking very thin felt around my tweeters and I found the same effect you described.

My understanding, subsequently, is that the Silverline designer has the forethought to lower the output of his product/tweeter precisely in the lower bandpass of the tweeter where diffraction effects will cause a rise and uneveness in the frequency domain. That's hip, but does nothing to remove the time and phase disorder to the signal when diffracted waveforms arrive late and combine. So, it is only in one respect that diffraction effects are being made more benign. In the other, time and phase error caused by the late arrival of diffracted waveforms (of the same information), this does nothing.

What is missing from Gear's eval and perhaps escaped his attention is the 3D roundness and transparency of space in a recording when diffraction effects are removed. Tho he did cite improved focus. Damn straight there is. Look at Gallo or Gradient loudspeakers, or Vandersteen. No baffle. Image like bastards. No diffraction is the reason. Gear misinterprets a loss of air. It's the very early reflection off his baffles and edges combining and reinforcing is what is missing. That, is a distortion to a recording. Further, it comes at a price to absolute dimensionality. Air is there, more naturally. Just as it was 'hesrd' by the microphone(s). So long as some guy in a booth hasn't f----- it up.

Paint the tweeter faceplate with a finish from Cascade Audio
called V-Bloc. This product goes on a wet dark purple and drys hard as rock black. This will tame much resonance build up on the actual plastic or metal chassis that houses the driver. For even better results remove the drivers and paint the back plates and metal chassis of the drivers...and to make a even more dramatic improvement paint the entire interior enclosure with this product. Result is 3d. No glasses required.Tom
