what if you put too much lead shot in your speaker

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.

Regards,

I am using 25 lbs as recommended by VSA.

Tom, I have no doubt the Sistrums would sound spectacular under most speakers, but lead has it's advantages. It does give some inprovement with the VR2s at far less cost than the Sistrums, and the speakers are much more stable which may be important with kids or dogs, etc. It cost me under $40 to make a big improvement using lead shot. Try it, and if you don't like it, you can easily remove the lead with very little money or effort lost.
