Nice ohm speakers, you do not see them often. Enjoy them.

Bixby, your setup would be super-chill, except that your house reminds me of a house in Fallout 3. Other than that, very relaxing-looking.

It's a sound absorbing wall panel.

Cool! I like the idea!
But how effective is it?
Is it expensive?
Where did you get it?

They've been around since I can remember. You can make your own makeshift ones out of foam or you can buy premade ones online. They can get kind of pricey.

And it blocks the sound so your neighbors can't hear what you listen to?
Do you have an idea of what percentage of the sound gets blocked with this foam on the wall?

That's not really the purpose of the acoustic treatment. It's there to absorb reflections caused by the room which create distortion.

Thanks for the info.
I'm looking for something to put on my walls in order to block all the low frequencies.
High frequencies tend to not go through walls.

The effectiveness of these panels varies depends on the size, shape, of your room, your speaker positioning, your listening position etc etc. If you are really interested google bass traps and sound diffusers... they are basically two types of acoustic panels...

the improvements, well, are much more apparent than say my upgrade from my Onkyo amp to a NAD M3, the later cost 3 grand new, so the 100 bucks I spend on these entry level foam panels beats more than "2k" spend on amps. of course I didn't spend that much on the amp but you get the idea. placement of the panels are important as well and you don't want to over treat your room as well

My speaker's are omni-design and they don't really benefit from these panels as much as conventional front firing speakers, I can just imagine how big an improvement it would be if I still have my Lsi9s in my listening room.

This.

If you just don't want to disturb the neighbors, I suggest plain insulation.

I can barely call it a rig, but it does do the job exeptionally well

And that's a computer?

Looks like a uDac, prolly hooked into the computer.

But I agree with the sentiment, more computer nerd pr0n. I love these post your computer threads (Hardforum has some good ones too).

Ah, gorb. I don't recall seeing AD700's in your post on OCN. Is that just a banana hook?

I really need to get something. I've just filled the holder that the AD700's come on with plaster. It works but it looks bad.
