    New Hi Fi system is bright :(

    Hi, So I had a cheap soundbar (without a subwoofer) for years. Last week bought a new Hi-Fi system - KEF R3 Meta & Cambridge Audio CXA81. The problem is that it sounds bright to my ears.

    PET absorbers for low frequency?

    I'm in contact with a company who produces panels made from PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate, not domesticated animals). They send me their performance data for a 15mm (0.59 inch) thick panel… Does the low frequency absorption seem unusually high to you too or am I misreading it?
