what if you put too much lead shot in your speaker

I'm sure there are other things to try, but in answer to your question, I found that the recommended lead shot in my VR2s made the speakers sound much better. Does lead make them sound best? I don't know, but they sound much better with the lead for very little cost or effort.

If a speaker manufacturer designs his speakers to sound better with lead shot, then what's the problem. One of the obvious benefits of this is lower shipping cost and less chance of shipping damage.

I remember an article in TAS many years ago. They were interviewing James C about either Alien or Terminator. The interviewer was going on and on about how James used the wrong film stock, film speed, and aspect ratio. James finally told they guy that he was the director, he made the decisions to obtain a certain feel to the film, and if he didn't like it he could go piss up a rope (not in those exact words). I lost all respect for TAS that day, and have not purchased an issue since.

84audio, i think the recomended amount for thr vr2's is 25 lbs. each.did you exceed this or are you using less?

84, you and I and Larry must listen together some evening soon..You'll know first hand what the expression means when they say "Get the lead out"..Tom

You can never have too much lead in your pencil.
