[QUOTE="Immacomputer, post: 3112505, member: 570419"] I don't think you understand why you should not have parallel walls. If you understood, you would understand why a sphere IS perfect for reducing resonance. First, spheres are self bracing and the most energy efficient shape as far as wall integrity goes. Second, the inner shape of a sphere reflects sound waves away from the source. This is what breaks up the standing waves. If you don't believe me, go fill a glass of water up about 3/4 of the way to the top. Then put a steady flow of drops into the side of the glass. Watch for waves -- you won't see any distinct waves but just a disturbance in the water. Then go find a square tupperware container. Do the same thing and you will see waves forming and bouncing around. You're correct about the panels not being parallel and about all points being parallel with another point in a sphere but those points are infinite which makes them infinitely small. Infinitely small means they don't exist. [/QUOTE]
