Too many boxes


I've saved all the important boxes w/associated packing materials from *everything* I've added to my system.

My storage area looks like the storeroom at Best Buy on the day before Thanksgiving. It's Full!

Can't throw any away.... what if some component needs service, or I sell something, or move....??

So...what are you doing with all *your* boxes??

I employ a tact very similar to A/gon member Dekay. My Von Schweikert 4.5 shipped in 2 boxes per speaker.(upper and lower cabinets that stand about 5 feet tall). I filled the boxes with old newspapers and stuck the boxes in the corners behind the speakers. Ba Da Bing!!!!! Can you say bass traps. Sound stage and imaging were improved and at about $500 for a single 16 inch ASC bass trap I figure I saved about a $1000 which can now be applied towards new software. You can stack the newspapers neatly in the boxes or crunch them up and throw in boxes for a random pattern of diffusion. Final touch would be to wrap the boxes in a solid color wrapping paper, like gold, silver, or chrome (adds a bit of reflection for the highs). YMMV
