Somebody in this there warned me that the fiberglass pipe wall finishing that I employed on the wall with my midbass horn, behind my listening location might be environmentally not healthy. I have very high sensitivity to fiberglass and one single tough of it makes me to itch for a few hours. After initial installation, heavy vacuuming of the room and an agonizing day of fiberglass allergy I did not detect any further sigh of me being irritated by fiberglass.

However, the last month, since the playback is finally all right and I run it at full throttle I begin to note any interesting pattern. After a prolong and loud listening I did pick some very minor signs of fiberglass itching. I presume that the pressure denigrating by my midbass horns lows fiberglass particles into the room.  Since the fiberglass particles have higher electrically potential then airborne dust I made a number of experiments by ionizing and charging the air in the horn mouth hoping that it discard or absorb the flying fiberglass. I even put magnets one different polarity on the perimeter of the midbass horns. It did not world. It was not annoying but it did give sometime a minor feeling the something was fiberglassish.

I have to say the it never thought to change my organ room treatment for anything else. I so much love how it looks and sounds that it is here to stay for good. Still, it is my LIVING ROOM and I was not aggressively looking for some kind of solution to permanently address the problem. Last week I have a very late listening my Bruckner 8. It was around midnight and I somewhere in the middle of my $45 Cohiba. The play was spectacular, juts beyond believe. The North German Radio Symphony Orchestra threw a firework beyond believe I clanked the things all the way up. The preamp was in unity gains and it was the highest volume my playback can do. It was loud. In the end of the Eight I feel that my neck was itching. I got pissed – nothing shall interfere with my Bruckner! Since I was still high in my Cohiba and I went to basemen and took a can of satin polyethylene and spayed it over my organ pipes. The fume killed the Cohiba, killed Bruckner and killed my desire to continue to listen but it looks also that it glued the fiberglass dust and had addressed the problem. From the last week, regardless the volume I use I have no sights of any fiberglass effect. Very cool! Also, that satin polyethylene is absolutely not visible on the pipes, on the walls and on the horns. Very cool solution….
