Don’t want to freak you out…


You know, after reading endless posts about this and that…

I'd like you to turn on your system on and put your fingers behind your upper ear lobes and bring them forward an 1/8th of an inch or so …

Maybe what you have really been looking for all of these years are differently shaped ears?

Kidding aside, I imagine ebony or cherry would sound better than foam. Too much damping with the squishy stuff. 

Sam Tellig had a great thing in Streophile years ago about big behind ear flaps...

I take my hat and glasses off too. Sometimes I forget. That messes with stuff.

I flip my hat around backwards too and tip my head back a bit. Collects pretty clearly. No high back chairs. BUT I have used 2" foam 12-14" wide just the height of my head with great result in a lively room. Just lean against a piece 24" long or so. I suppose cardboard ears could work..

Modify a Burger King Crown, turn it upside down and go from their. :-)
