Tektronix Microcomputer Development Products Aloha, Oregon Mr. Kersenbrock: the following mailed to you was returned and I guess its as much of general interest as 50% of the rest of the stuff here. Tch, tch. I am sure that had you reflected upon it you would have realized that white grill cloth would not have absorbed as much of the sound as your black grill cloth does. Of course frequent laundering might ameliorate your problem, but be careful and don't wring it dry because some of the (embedded) notes are sharp. On the other hand, a white grill cloth would reflect more of the sound back into the speaker where, if it were not absorbed, it might be again reflected producing a standing wave condition causing untold further problems - and probably unheard ones as well. I know this is so because white grill cloths are not as common as black ones and this is the only reason that has occurred to me, therefore it is the correct reason. Actually, I too, use black grill cloth because I have low efficiency speakers and wished to impedance match them to low efficiency grill cloth. Also, I didn't have any choice. -Dick Grantges BTL HO hound!rfg
