has lead shot surpassed cold


Frank Zappa,s Nanook the eskimo, had lead filled snow shoes. Looks like i,ll end up with lead filled speakers. has any one puchased lead shot lately. The local gun shop wants $625 for 50 kilos. That really is incredable

Might I suggest that you use sand to fill your stands, and Blu-Tak your speakers to the stands. I sincerely doubt that you will notice any audible differences but you will markedly decrease your potential for environmental toxicity.
Last time I purchased lead for my speaker was in 2005 and I paid $20. for 25 lbs. It is difficult to believe that the cost has gone up so much.
Please do a search in the Audiogon archives regarding lead shot before proceeding with such a plan. Please!
I used 'plummet' (for shotguns) to fill my Usher BE-20. About 40 Euro for 25 kgr. But the amount needed was unbelievable.They become 'real estate'.

I think if you use sand, it must playground sand that will not corrode your metal stands.
