Lead Shot Substitute for Loading Speaker Cabinets?
At Larry Staples {original to LSA}house one evening who had worked with Von Schweikert. We removed the shot from his prototype speakers under test. Replaced with direct coupled Audiopoints. Less dark more speed and a much more dynamic stage. He ne... 
Wool Rugs
Stan,If you decide on a large area rug over tile or wood..I would suggest you look into a jute underlayment instead of the typical rebond foam pad. The jute/hair/wool has more surface area and will act as wider bandwidth filter less tuned to a spe...
