Totem forest And Mass loading


Dose any one hay any recommendations on mass loading for totem forest?

I have just started my first stereo system, and I am running a Pair of forest's through a cary sli-80 integrated amp. Bi-wired with Kimber 12tc cable and next week a new Cary 303T SACD CD player as my new source. I love triode mode over ultra liner looking for more bass throw without wreaking the great overall image by mass loading.

I have only tried dry play sand gives great bass but wreaks the image!
So am looking for another mass loading substance or combination.

My audiophile buddy said to mix it half sand and half lead shot, but has any one used lead shot for there speakers. Also how many pounds in each speaker,
dose it give a more clear image then sand?

Just to Note Troide mode has the same volume output as Ultra Liner but cleaner! Have not bought a good power cord yet.

Dose any one have any Thoughts?

Go ahead and mass load your speaker. The bass will tighten up and the micro and macro dynamics will astound you. There is nothing but vibrations in those cabinets that is robbing your speakers of there potential. I have about 110 lbs of stone pavers on top of each speaker and the performance has gone beyond anything I could of imagined before adding the weight. Vince knows along with any other speaker manufacturer that by adding weight to the cabinet the performance will dramically improve. Remember your speakers were built to a price point, add some weight to the top and you will thank me.
