When you're making a panel absorber, how critical is the way you attach the ply to the box?...I want to make some bass absorbers using 1/8" ply over an 8" gap. Can I just glue the ply to the front of the box directly onto the mdf (probably 3/4" or 1") for a flush edge? Or do I need to have the...

mackie 624s (the new, littler ones), Genelec 1030s, or Dynaudio BM6As. These are all around the same price in the UK. Anyone care to share their preferences/experiences? Thanks in advance.

Hello! I'm brand new to this forum as I'm on the hunt for advice about treating my attic studio. Two questions: 1: John Sayers has talked a lot about dense/rigid acoustic fibreglass being better than foam etc as an absorber. Does anyone know what this stuff might be called in the UK..ie what...
