RE: Do Shakti Hallograph Soundfield Optimizers really work?

I look at them and say no way, but I did hear something better. Do they really work or is this just expensive silly tweak?

Your listening is filtered through your inner cynic. He's afraid of freedom and only feels secure when others agree with him; i.e. when he's with the mob. Your ears told you there was something better: why did you choose the hot frustration of denial over the simple pleasure of enjoying "something better"? Answer that and you'll save a fortune on psychiatry bills and hi-fi upgrades.

Do they really work or is this just expensive silly tweak?

They really work AND they're an expensive silly tweak. They are tacky pieces of shoddy woodworking that diffuse the reflected signal coming off the wall behind your speakers. You can achieve better results (mechanically and aesthetically) with a couple of leafy pot plants (from God or Home Depot) placed on stands at the same height as your mids and tweeters. It looks better too.

There! You've saved your first thousand bucks!
