would you happen to have the urls that show the detailed acoustic tests
and the data for the egg crate material?

perhaps i did not search hard enough on that sight, but i found no
quantified acoustic tests or data to back up anything on the sight. what
i did find is a sight that was "pushing" its products. perhaps i am a
bit jaded by advertising in general but i found the above sight
particularly guilty of making statements and not providing any
information to back those statements up. experiemental test results
would be nice.
