is black the optimum colour for the best sound detail?

Absolutely. It absorbs nasty interfering photons.


Quite right!

But he's got a good point - you could paint them any colour you liked! (Do
give 'em a couple of coats though - flash photos I have taken reveal little
pinholes in the paint on my 'Acoustiliths'** because I got all of a fever
and rushed then into place after only one quick coat! :-)

I used black a) without thinking (no imagination) and b) because I've got a
lifetime's supply of black vinyl emulsion paint (2.5 lt) from when I done me
lintels.....
