"Wild because this is not your usual foam...these are real logs! I left the bark on the logs as I felt this created the most absorbing surface. The variety in log size, 1" to 5" diameter, is intended to give this wild log base trap the broadest spectrum of absorption. I did not make before and after measurements so I cannot say exactly how much the improvement is...all I can say is that it is noticeably better. Anyone else try this? Is this crazy, dumb, wild or what?"

Q. Anyone else try this?
A. Not me.
Q. Is this crazy, dumb, wild or what?
A. In my opinion:
-------->Not crazy, especially if it works.
-------->Not dumb, quite the opposite, I'd say.
-------->Not wild, unless being creative, showing initiative and not following the "herd mentality" is "wild." If that's wild, then I aspire to be wild.
-------->"What" it looks like to me is encompassed, at least partly, by the following list:
Intelligent, very highly creative, extremely well planned and executed, aesthetically pleasing, rather unique, and just downright cool!

Thank you for going to all of the time and effort to post a step by step pictorial and narrative of your fine system. Your virtual system is a good example of why the Virtual System area of Audiogon is one of my very favorites. It's nice to see people who are happy with what they've achieved, and justifiably happy to boot!
