I don't think so. But after hearing about $500 calibration and $1,000 speaker wire, I'm not so sure.

The KNUTBALLZ is the only item I can afford right now. Just got them on order. I think they will make an amazing difference.

As soon I as can afford the remaining items, They will be added to my sound system. It is going to be glorious.

That's nothing...people should start applying creams to their gear for a "tenacious electrical bond". Their words, not mine.

This is not a joke. There is a company that actually makes and sells these.

These Acoustic Art room treatments from Synergistic Research are the most unusual looking room treatment material. Go the web site and click on each one to get additional information. You can buy them at The Cable Company.

Big Daddy, what is your honest opinion about these type of products? I know you are a diplomatic kind of fella, and perhaps would not want to hurt the feelings of some people who perhaps "believe" in these types of things, but I seriously wonder about some people in this hobby. I had a guy telling me to rub creams on my SACDs to bring out the bottom end.

Wall treatments and bass traps can have a significant effect on the quality of the sound in a home theater room. Some rooms are affected more than others.

I can't make any comments about the products I mentioned above as I have never used them. However, common sense tells me that they probably will not have any effect on sound quality, but they will definitely look cool in your HT room. You can impress your friends.
