Good point, go with instinct on that. Dynamat if it heats up can also weep around a bit.
I never thought about the reflections part in this application, i always cover it with felts etc.
What's the gel called exactly?

Speaking of earthquakes and shockproof...can you listen to "Winter Bliss" by Demoncy at high volume and tell me the differences with and without this gel mod? I ask because that song rattled my skull with the MT220!

I am listening to Lee Ann Womack's The Way I'm Livin album with the stock MT-220 with Takstar pads. The MT-220 continue to amaze me with its excellent imaging and 3D layering. It is almost T1 like.
 
My advice is don't go too far adding dampening to the MT-220. Dampening is always a 2 edges sword: it helps to cut down unwanted reflection and peaks, but will also rob imaging.

all modifications, any way of "touching" sound , either with switching pads , or cables , or gear , gives and takes to/from the Sound of the dream.
this dream sound never to be catched, you may get closer to it but never getting it...
 
trying to catch dream sound is fun but for now i am leaving it be and will enjoy music without thinking of gear.
always thinking about how stuff effect sound and how it could of would of sound... all the analyzing and wondering distracted me from music.
 
so no more distractions, music here i come )

by the way, alison krauss is amazing on mt220, guitar strings have good body and such immediate attack,adds to a gentle and sensitive recording boldness =) very cool!

It's modulating the timbre when I use cork n leather...
N dynamic energy when I use gel n felt...
The sense of space is more affected by the distance away from the drivers...ESP by the diff pads n it's quality..lol

Just tales...shruggs


=====

it is v easy to mod/tune this can ...big space inside, n u wont break a wire easily..
it is reversible, go find some rubber, gel, cork slices...whatever catches your fancy..
just need a philips screw driver....and 10 mins...n some listening.
Give it a try ..it is DIYscience...esp first timers
