Do It Yourself Hallographs

IMO, Not disclosing the type of wood is probably just a way to protect a patent or copyrite.

If the type of wood REALLY is that important I feel sorry for those who fall prey to this type of marketing voo-doo. Should we all buy the same carpet, wood flooring and furniture to adorn our listening room so that we all have the same environment??? I think not!

I challenge anyone to listen in a blind set-up and tell me the difference.

All you are really doing is breaking up the sound wave that travels towards the first reflection point. (getting first ref point under control or eliminated is widely known to improve sound quality on several different levels I won't get into).

Build your own design with an eye towards what works in your budget.

I have no doubt that you will be just as happy with the results, if you "Think" it makes a difference.

Happy Building!

West Penn hardwoods in NY sells ebony. Certain woods may work better. Call a Shakti dealer and tell them you're interested in a pair but want to know what wood choices they have available. Think it's cheating? The price they charge is a total ripoff. Make your own.

Don't forget to post your results and provide pictures of your project. (Maple, Ebony, Rosewood, Myrtle and Cherry all seem to be excellent choices for musical endeavors).

It's infuriating when manufacturers don't provide sufficient information on their websites to facilitate folks knocking off their products without having to guess. Shakti Hallographs with their mystery woods are a perfect example of this lack of consideration.

U might do just as well with attractive plants. I believe placing them both L/R will give u the same effect and allot cheaper.
