Putting weights on speakers?


IME, putting 20 lb ankle weights on my 150 lb speakers greatly tightened and improved the bass and sound overall. Only problem is that the wife hates it...

I use the same tweeters by the way, and those are phenomenal. :)  It's interesting the woofer is crossed as high as it is.  1 kHz... Hmmmmmmm...
mahgister, what happen's in the audio room stay's in the audio room. I imagine this is the look your wife give's when you explain your tweeks. 🙄
basically you added mass and therefore reduced the natural frequency of the enclosures. 
is there a limit to heading in this direction where the sound becomes something we do not car for?  
example- Magico aluminum enclosure speakers and subwoofers.  
somehow the bass response of these speakers was foreign and disorganized.  the midrange and treble were phenomenal but the bass was horrible.  i suspect that the enclosure was too rigid and actually causing the drivers to resonate.  just a guess.

if we made enclosures from concrete, would the same thing happen?  

i believe we are used to a certain amount of cabinet resonance and like what it does for the sound.

You are right on the spot.... :)

But she know i love my audio system much then approve me without saying it too much openly....

By the way one of the most precious thing to have is a room only dedicated to the audio system.... With this you can made many improvement which are impossible in a normal room used for socializing reason....

for example for the active acoustical controls:

a- I use a grid of active metal resonator (50)
b- I use 20 Helmholtz bottles of different sizes
c- I use a grid of connected stones and crystals
d- I use a grid of cheap 10 Schumann Generators modified with crystals and stones...
e- I use a grid of 90 little bells or cones of 2 different sizes(7mm or 9 mm)

and many others things like passive acoustic materials etc....

I also has modified all the main electrical grid of my house.... :)
mahgister, your tweaking program is far beyond my comprehension. I'm sure it does wonders!
