Zd,
I think it is a shame that you respond to so many posts the way that you do. There are times when your responses are clear, helpful and well informed.
Unfortunately, as in this case, they are sometimes a blend of 80% unsupported opinion, and 20% rancor.
It is fairly clear that neither of us have much in the way of facts, and I have admitted that, but as someone who is using the cymbal, I have told you that it is not the same as cupped hands; and it is not just a matter of degree as you say.
And no, it isn't pretty obvious. They do certainly fall ino the category of room tuning devices as you say, but that is still not remotely close to cupping your hands in back of your ears, which is really amplifying the sound at it's destination, which is quite different.
The point of my posts on this subject was simply to encourage other members to give it a try, and see what they think about the result; not to argue the cause of the effect.
