small update,
A little over a month ago, mike c gave me a good deal for his Auralex Mopads.
I've been hearing and reading about the improvements brought about by placing these pads under my speakers.
And guess what. It does indeed improve the sound of my speakers.
I never thought my previous setup was muddy until I placed the Mopds under the speakers.
Particularly the dialogue coming from the center speaker is now much more realistic and clear.
Music listening is now much more pleasant and airy, the bass punchier and the mids much more defined.
I highly recommend these babies, planning to get another pair for my bedroom.
