Helmhotz resonators for audiophile at almost no cost and without calculus...

The importance to treat the room if you have speakers, even in nearfield listening like me, is imperative ...

Here is my advice: 

Buy some big  empty wine bottles, or drink them before, it is optional....Or use some carafes, the kind that some display at the center of a table....I use plastic  wrapping sheets to tightly seal the aperture of the bottles and the carafes after pouring in them around 10 % of water in their volume space...You must listen and experiment for your taste and room to determine the exact amount of water to boost the frequencies that will benefit….After that  I peirce the plastic sheet with a needle and I insert a  thin straw with only the extremity of the straw at the top...  That its! You know have an Helhmotz resonator... 

You now have one of the more astounding tweak for a room that will transform your listening space in sound heaven ...I use more than 15 of them in my little audio room and trust me that is one of a kind upgrading...

I wrote that for those who want to experiment, the others can stay silent...My best to all...

Thanks Geoff I had already identified some of these spots with my experiments... I will probably go on with your idea with a sound level apparatus...Luckily it seems that the dimension of a carafe or wine bottle plays positive role in my small room approx. 17 feets by 15 feets by 15 feets...The diameter of the straw,the length of the straw and the volume of the carafe or the bottles are certainly in a acceptable range relative to the room size, because the improvement is spectacular... I will sleep on the calculus...My best to all...

 I already have some bottles behind my speakers in between and behind my back on the wall facoing the speakers... Some bottles are near the ceiling ,some are on the lateral wall on shelves, some in front of windows...

No need for a photo, imagine a big wine bottle, go on with around 10% water + or -, wrap it and seal the top with plastic sheet, pierce it, insert a thin regular straw and listen, changing the spot and the level of water.... Go on with that with 2 carafe or 2 bottles at the same times in different and complementary spots...You ears will speak to you...

Perhaps I must manufacture these bottles,call them " crystals bottles" and sell them 500 hundred bucks each...

Placement cannot be the same in different rooms,then have fun and play, the final results will be inexorably an improvement for you...

My electrical grid and my audio grid are already cleaned with stones and crystals connected grid of my own design with great results... My nearfield systems is already treated against mechanical vibrations also with my sorbothane sandwiches... But these Helmhotz resonators put the system on another level... My room was already treated acoustically by me before these H.Resonators experiments...But with these H.R. the sound is clearer on all frequencies, the imaging better, and the listening positions possible in the room are way better...
