I bought the Granite for the base for my ....

I saw that with my dad in the theater. I seem to remember that speakers where actually added to the theater for that experience.

-The end

I remember something like that too. I think that's right. It was a long time ago. Anyway, if it's even available on DVD or VHS, it would be interesting to see how well a high end subwoofer would do with it.

I've had terrible results with granite as a base for HI-Fi equipment but if you must have it, the best thing to buy is a machinist base, designed for a tool maker / machine shop.

These cost a fraction of what similar materials sell for in the funeral business and audio business.

Here is an example of a precision machine base that's 9"X12" and weighs nearly 60 pounds, yet sells for only $22.00 because it's intended for tool rooms.

I went through this nearly 10 years ago, hope you have better results with stone than I did.

I will let you know Al.

Get "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World"

I don't even have a subwoofer, and my wife and son had to duck so the cannon balls wouldn't hit us.

Great movie too. Russell Crowe was outstanding.
