Absolutely right, we are way off the subject. IMHO, save money for other
system needs, do not buy traps or other absorbing products. Fix the
issue that would make you think a trap was needed instead of adding to
the problem by chasing the symptom.
Humidity does effect sound, but I do not think a

Very interesting topic, especially since my experience is that room
accoustic/speaker placement influences the sound much more than some
other things.
Now, question for north Americans (because of the specific way how our

First off is your room a dedicated listening room? These rooms have the
most issues because they are not lived in rooms with all the things
that go with them. Most listening rooms tend to have a center chair or
sofa and the equipment. They have echo and ring because they are bare.

I can just vouch for the mopads, under my mains, and the subdude, under
my sub. I was having lots of extra vibes and rattling going on and for
as inexpensive as these items were, they work awesome. Good clean bass,
really cut down on the window rattles...except for the occasional
explosion or dept
I use auralex mopad under my speakers rather than the suplied feet or
spikes or other feet I've tried.. these allow the floorstander to be
isolated from the floor. The effect is very pleasing in my system and

Actually, the room is a simple rectangle, with plenty of cushy
furniture. However, the ceiling is high (3 meters). The walls and
ceiling (yes) are concrete. The floor is tile over concrete, although
I have a very large and thick carpet over that.
Basically, the room is a good echo chamber. Ta

Generally "foam" won't help with domestic rooms (apart from some
exceptional circumstances). Take a look at something like this:
