Have you tried "doping" your speaker cones?

Other hobbies with these economics?
I am into the gun thing, and it works, I always make money buying and selling. Watches are on the same level, if they are pricey enough to begin with, well maintained they go up in value. To hell with cars, a loosing battle! What I don't think is ...

35Hz - 25kHz -- A Partial 'Purist'?
Well my speakers go down to 34hz, and I enjoy them, sometimes I wish there was more on the low end, but everything else is so good why risk it? I have NEVER heard a seamless integration of a sub, regardlees of size or location or quantity....etc. ...
