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

"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.

After a week of listening, I cannot tell the difference between the carpet or the Granite. However, the Black 20x20 piece of Granite looks great under the Seismic 12. That Sub can knock the fillings out of my mouth. Very happy with the whole Paradigm set up.
