A whole new meaning to "live" music

I opened up a Watt 5 unit today to test the driver.

Inside I found a cherry pit and a bunch of uncooked rice (short grain). Seems like a mouse has made my speaker their pantry, having gained entry to it via the port.

Luckily, no mouse poop or bad smells.

Anyone else have similar experiences?

It looks like you have discovered the "secret" to why the Wilson speaker line sounds so good. It was not a mouse. I just put some Uncle Ben's and a cherry pit inside my speakers, and they are now sounding WAY better than ever before....Thanks for the tip!

Now we can start the debate on long grain verus short grain versus instant rice. Which one gives the best sound?

I restored an Eden bass cab after it had been left unattended in a store room...mice had eaten the wire insulation and removed all of the fibre padding. An easy fix but man...gross.
