Yeah it just goes over the driver itself, I couldn't tell a difference back then, DIY audio heaven shows graphs before and after, lows and mids remain the same from what I remember, treble peak was reduced. I'm guessing like you say, detail was reduced, so I might test it without the paper again.

I watched that video last night 😂. I didn't personally understand why you would completely close off the inside though, his end result was lower highs if I remember correctly, which is fine, but it seemed a lot of work when the paper mod works pretty well.

I'm completely ignorant in this field though, so maybe I'm missing something.

See, I don't know if the grill is that blocked off in itself, I thought the dampening ring was what did that, the general consensus seems to be not to mess with it at all, but the tinkerer in me just wants to find out 😂.

Interesting, thanks!

Interesting, Joshua Velour describes the 880s as having a kind of 'globe' of sound while using them, and I agree with him. Just wondered if there was a way to alleviate that.

I love my 880s, just wish they had a wider soundstage (I think I'm using the correct terminology, I'm a novice in this field).

I'm no expert, but when I eq'd them, they still seemed sibilant, when I put the paper mod inside, the sibilance was gone and the overall sound was the same; no need for software or tweaking and it was super easy. I think modding definitely has a place, just looking for some info on it.

I have a schitt stack, that'll need to do for now 😏

Removing padding from the drivers would change sound signature, no?

Toilet paper mod was a useful one too lol.
