Post Subject: What to do with mouth cover?Posted by Romy the Cat on: 8/20/2010

This is a quandary that I am thinking about now; feel free to bring your views.

The big two mouths on the top of my room – to cover them with fabric or not?

Here are some coned and pros that are spinning in my mind.

FOR fabric cover:

1)      Less demands or no deans at all for the in-horn finishing (that is HUGE)
2)      Better thermo control
3)      A sheet of fabric will act a very MINOR  low pass filter
4)      More convention décor of the room
5)      Fabric  over mouth will act as a consumer of HF that will hit the large Triangular wall (that is important)
6)      No need to clear dust inside of the horn from time to time (some horn practitioners know what I mean)

Against fabric cover:

1)      The horns inside must be well sanded, finished, pained or covered with something (a LOT of work).
2)      Two open mouths going deep to the attic will provide VERY sexy addition to the room décor in a geeky way.
3)      I might play with lights inside the mouths
4)      It “might” sound better
5)      I will be able to see if any structural damage begin to take place
6)      The absence of the “fabric wall” in place of the mouths will create no reflective surface.

I am still thinking and have no ruling on the subject.
