Weights on speakers

[walpurgis]

Ordinary gravel would be fine. As long as it is dried out before use. I've used it in speaker stands effectively. I'd imagine a canvas or leather bag filled with it would be OK as a weight on top of speakers.

Bagged gravel or sand sounds the way to go, sonically if not aesthetically. Don't know if I could live with the weird shape though, but it would be lot cheaper than the 20mm thick granite slabs, which were estimated at £120 a pair cut to fit the top of the speakers, still leaving me with a flat surface for album cover etc.

Cutting into the floor does seem a little extreme on reflection, but it would be tricky to fix the loose floorboards as we laid a new floor on top of the existing floorboards. Screwing down some MDF seems favourite.
