Best products for baffle material s ?

Is there a benefit to adding surface area to a speaker?

Chobham

Jonnk. My first idea was to respond "fribbett" as Johnny English said. However, I thought I'd better look up CHOBHAM --and WOW -- what a revelation. I am looking into it. Do you have some available and the blades I,d need to cut it??? ;-)) Where the heck did your knowledge come from? I,d bet not one in a million knows what you,ve described..

I'm going to research specs on materials- Chouhan , ceramic, aluminum,steel plate, exotic ironwoods, granite , artificial granite and other new countertop materials, maple, South American cherry woods for the hardness,density and vibration attenuation properties. Will report my findings. Any other materials I should consider? How is the energy disappated with all metal Magico or similar systems? I'm inclined towards Rockports multi-material designs as intellectually appealing and fully expect some combination to be the best bet. Wilson was using lead pads within their walls for mass and damping qualities. Cost and workability factors will be interesting.

Associated with baffle material is treatment for the front surface. I notice Rockport designs in felt faces and Wilson has used felt a very long time. YG and Magico don't bother. ??
