No she won again. Christmas is back in a box in the garage. All of that extra dampening worked really well. Room treatments do make a huge improvement to the way things sound. I'm still figuring out how to work them tastefully into our living area.
However, Valantine Day is coming and I think I have perfected a solid chocolate bass trap. Yes it's edible. The dark chocolate version sounds best when sprinkled with sea salt. Plans coming soon.
