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  put a pair of my 20lb PowerBlock  weight handles I use for working out, on top of my approximately 75lb  Opera loudspeakers.  

I put on a RL Zep II and heard a normally punchy, dynamic recording become somewhat wimpy. My speakers are sealed, spiked on suspended wood floor

The biggest regret of doing this now dumb experiment is I managed to put a ding on the otherwise nice Cherry finish removing one of the weights! I'm naturally an accident prone goofball.

Lesson learned- leave my damn system alone.
