Much like the HFT's, perhaps the ECT's are negating resonances at specific frequencies. The cancelation may result in a blacker background. It almost seems more rational at an electronic level than the range of frequencies seen by an HFT across your room boundaries. This is why I may be blabbering nonsense because in that theory, wouldn't an HFT need to be substantially larger or is it intended just for the highest of frequencies that influence ambiance?
