What can ya do Ron, every website has it's trolls.
But whether speakers, innerconnects, or power cables, excellent engineering or snake-oil marketing will always shine through
Everyone's got an opinion, and you know what they say about that. LOL
Honestly your faceplate looks great as-is and is a big cosmetic upgrade over the inexpensive casing Bullseye uses.
Or you could just buy a Dan Dagostino ?
This is how I dealt with my glass issues, 2" of Roxul Rockboard 60 acoustic insulation

There's a right way and a wrong way to do everything. ;)
I think what your hearing is the varying sounds of the amplifiers energizing the speakers.
Whether it's a difference in DC offset stabilization or what I have no idea.

Is it normal...
Blah blah blah, Same ole, same ole in defense of you coming in every time a "cult" component is exposed for it's
