OK, Q-man, this is going to require an explanation! Very impressive. Very impressive!!

Sounds like me. I have bought numerous Klipsch speakers over the years (mostly during the past two years). I have also sold a number of pieces of stereo equipment, but none were Klipsch. I will eventually have to let some of them go though -- just not enough space for all of 'em, or time to put them all to good use.

Welcome to the club! So, what have you collected so far?

Klew, Can you try using a piece of rubber that is at least 1/4"-1/2" thick or so? I wouldn't think cardboard or a sponge would offer much dampening.

Klew, What was the interface between the clamp and the speaker? Maybe you can try using a piece of rubber (or something like that), that would dampen any of the vibrations going from the speaker back up to the clamp and prevent the clamp itself from vibrating. Just a thought I had...

Tony, That's the exact reason I haven't really considered using internal bracing. One idea I recently had, mainly to test the bracing theory, was to get some "giant clamps" and put the clamps on the sides of my Cornwalls to tighten up the side panels and see how that sounds. The concern I have about doing this is that then the clamps themselves might resonate and produce sound.

Mr. Bob, I'm interested. Please contact me.
