    Pebble Theory:

    "Major sources of unwanted acoustic energy are corners of the listening room, where surprisingly high sound pressure levels are produced when music is playing - these levels can actually be 8-10 dB higher than the average sound pressure level in the room -- about eight times higher! Room corners project acoustic energy out into the room when music is playing - as if there were many additional speakers in the room interfering with the pure signal of the primary speakers - producing phase distortion at the listening position ("comb filter effect"). For this reason, room corners are outstanding locations for the Large Brilliant Pebbles. In the corner on the floor, even a carpeted floor, Brilliant Pebbles significantly improves dynamic range and lowers distortion of the audio system."


    They even have atomic structures on their 'theory' site, however they.... dont say how they work. So, apparently these pebbles, properly thrown on the floor, will be able to replace bulky acoustic panels! I hope they come out with WAF friendly color schemes!

    **** Magic Pebbles. I got The Exorcist to take care of the "bad" energy in my rooms. Cost me a few bucks more than the pebbles, but you want this guy on your team.

    You guys must have crappy gear or bad hearing. Oh, let me guess, none of you have ever actually tried the tweak. You don't know what you don't know. Good luck on your audio journey.
