>>> Is this what is called an "infinite baffle"? This seems like a much better idea than the standard baffle arrangement. <<< The problem is that glancing reflections are hard to completely stop. The best way to stop them is with baffles that are face onto the glancing rays, hence, the traditional series of baffle rings. Mel Bartels
