Something on top of a speaker=okay?

Good point.

I suspected that the stuffing was important. Perhaps I could keep my stash of stolen loose diamonds elsewhere. Maybe I should try cornflakes?

Why do you think that is?

The dust is essential to the highest quality of audiophile sound. see the 148 posts about this on this site. (Search:all threads even sillier than this one ) Without the dust, the area on top of the speaker doesn’t vibrate properly to bring out the highest frequencies.
 

Cables? My learning disability has me going through a series of trials using tables, stables, and gables. I fell off the roof twice trying to utilize the latter. Now, I’m trying to get a handle on whether to put girls in front of the baffles or leave them there. So far, my girls have not been particularly cooperative around this endeavor.

Peanut butter around the rim of woofers gets vermin to nibble on the cones and create patterns that promote "natural" sounding bass. If you don't remove the grilles first, you eliminate rodents, which limits the effect. Insects are neither as smart nor as helpful.

If anyone demands that I stop, I will.

Not fierce enough. It needs to be able to ward off evil distortion demons.

If someone tells me how, I’ll post a photo of the dog that got all this started. “Pupper” is by far the most mellow, well-behaved pet I have ever had. I guess he has the advantage of being inanimate.

I like that frog.

Before I settled on the stuffed animal on my speaker, I experimented with pizza slices. Interestingly, the sound was completely dependent on what toppings were on the pizza.

Thanks, nonoise. That’s good to know.
 

I suspect I’m too lazy to go to that much trouble.
