slab vs. wood foundation

Recommended Posts

Good day! For the past 2 years, I've had my K-Horns in the HT room. The room has a concrete slab foundation. Prior to that, we lived in a manufactured house that had the steel beam girders. So I've never really 'test driven' my cornerhorns on a traditional wood foundation.

Can anybody out there comment on the benefits of either? I like the current sound, it would seem that bass waves would project rather than absorb more on concrete, but then again, I can envision that the K-horns can get the whole room trembling more with a wood foundation.

I am pretty sure the cement walls are a little better for a corner for KHorns. There is no movement at all and that is a good thing. A friend of mine who is a Klipsch nut built corners into his listening room with 2"X4" spaced real close to one another and then 2 layers of cement board. I do believe he put fiberglass behind and hard fiberglass something like 3" thick with a covering on the front.
