Spare change on a speaker cabinet

Don't you think other things within that store could have caused this or changed things more than spare change on a speaker? perhaps a sales person standing within the room?

would using different currency, say a Yen, Pence tailor it to the Japanese or British sound?

I would think it would only work if it was the change left over from the purchase of Brilliant Pebbles.

I find it best to use $0.37 on the inner rear corner of each speaker. No quarters either, as they will wreck the imaging. Place the 3 nickels in an L shape nearest the corner, with the 2 dimes coming out of the corner nickel at a 45 degree angle. Then place one penny on either sided of the outside dime. MAKE SURE NO COIN TOUCHES ANY OTHER COIN!! As this will cause the soundstage to collapse.

Done just right, it is magical. The best $0.74 you'll ever spend. FWIW, I have not tried this on a 5.1 or a 7.1 system, but I'm still experimenting.

John,

You are *way-out* there !

Did you polish your coins ?

Soo I guess I deserve a bit of hazing for this question. I swear I heard a difference but the owner of the store was over near the preamp at the time so who knows what might of happened. He certainly seemed like a trust worthy guy. It was a pair of Revel Gems that sounded great already. I guess I assumed that it lowers the resonance of the cabinet or somehow minimizes a cabinet resonance at a certain frequency.

John, I can't tell if you are kidding or serious but the way I saw it was a stack of coins. It may be he did something to the preamp during the demo, or maybe he has some insdider knowlede of the cabinet resonance. For all I know Kevin Voelks at Revel told him to try it and it only works with Revels.
