I have a question regarding this:

I'm about to build a riser for the sofa (my home studio also functions as a listening room plus home cinema) with 3 Europaletten plus frames.

I was going to fill them with Rockwool so they can act as bass traps. Will this have any effect at all? I wanted to stuff them full to avoid any resonance of the 3 wooden boxes, but since you wrote touching the wooden or metal frame reduces the performance, is this a bad idea?

Thanks for the info.
