Sam, Thanks for replying. You tried cutting the fins on your 511B's. Did that adequately damp the ringing (by itself)? Did you try any damping on the lips or body of the horn?

At this point I don't think that the ringing I currently have with the sand bags is unlivable. Fact is, the sound quality is incredible, and in most respects, better than I have ever had in my home. However, I want to get the best sound quality that I can from my equipment. I enjoy building and tweaking, and the improved sound quality that results (eventually...most of the time). I may at some point try wooden horns but I am enjoying the 511B's too much to make the change now.

Thanks for emailing the details of the fin cutting. Seems like that can be done with minimal aesthetic impact. After receiving your emails I picked up a sawzall. Have not done the deed yet, but did cut down some overgrown bushes!

Regards,

AstroSonic
