I am looking for acoustically transparent glue.

'Sounds' like the best-of-both-worlds!
I'd like too hear this mod made from one piece of material (no glue).
Thank you!

With the settling of the drivers and the mod, please refer to the thread as indicated by "Happy Camper", the spatial imaging is much more solid than with the stock foam rings. The listener receives a rather neutral sound spectrum as opposed to absolute clarity without any of the punchy feeling that most of us are accustomed to when coming from the upper end of the spectrum.

Thanks for sharing the info.

When you put something in front of a spk it doesn't perform the same as if nothing were in front of it.

Shoot, I'll give you two bucks & fifty cents for postage; five bucks for a tweak are you kidding me?!?!
