Something on top of a speaker=okay?


We have a (toy) stuffed dog laying on top of one of our floorstanding speakers. Does this affect the sound?  

Do I need to find an identical breed of stuffed dog to put on the other speaker to maintain balance? Does it matter if it's a dog, an elephant or a cute bunny? What about the color? We can dye the dog's fur if that improves the soundstage.

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.

 

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.
 

Dust is not a problem here. Under renovation in my house. I wondered why my speakers high freq sounded so much better. No more dusting for me!!!

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.
