This would probably reduce the sound, buy playing around with different types of glass could help find the right balance between safety and sound.

But I also see a 3fer here also . A combination Plasma light show / Speaker /Bug Zapper (don't go to the light -- it's so beautiful zzzzzzzzzz)

And that frequency response would make crossing it over to either very difficult.
Acapella has been using plasma tweeters for quite some time but they are very very expensive. Think, $100,000 to $350,000!

Plasma tweeters have been around since the '80s. May be the first time one has been extended down to 200Hz though. So you could have a plasma mid, AND tweeter.
