I've installed another Brainerd Liberty 126453 AC wall plate for my computer audio system and find it to sound just as good as when installed for my bedroom system. Also found out that the wood inlay actually does a really good job at vibration dampening the cast metal from audibly ringing (like a bell) as compared to another cast metal AC wall plate that does not feature a wood inlay.

The 126453 vs. the other cast metal AC wall plate: the top end is substantially more open and airy, sound stage is deeper, tonal bloom is decreased so the presentation sounds faster, bottom end is tighter, too. I'm quite tweak diddly pleased ;-D

I don't think it needs any treatment other than perhaps pushing a small ring of Bluetack around the slight rim that runs along the back edges. Maybe, but I don't think it's even a vital consideration.
