Definitely try different positionings for the coupler. It seems obvious that
if the coupler is in, say, somewhere in the middle of the speaking length,
it will impede vibrations and be a source of interference depending on where
it sits (right on a node, etc.) Likewise if it is right at a termination, it
is bound to interfere with the behavior at the termination point.
