Putting weights on speakers?


IME, putting 20 lb ankle weights on my 150 lb speakers greatly tightened and improved the bass and sound overall. Only problem is that the wife hates it...

I have been having Mass loading custom  made tops for my speakers for years 
made of polished Granite exactly to the shape of the speaker  , I put a bit of blutac on top of  the speaker and placed the 
beautiful polished. granite on top not only does it look nice but the weight absorbs all the excess vibration which most speakers cabinets are not thst thick. I use a 1/2 Bull nose radius .which looks nice ,gives better focus and imaging for  under $200 per speaker money very well spent a very small investment per return in better musicality, A very small investment for reward in several ways,and your speaker looks even more elegant ,in any colors you choose ,and I matched my subwoofer in Black pearl,  
I made one for my dac also and put herbies feet underneath 
  • the granite .
