I read some of these tweaks and wonder if the posters really understand what they're suggesting.

All kinds of mounting systems, all kinds of gaskets. Speaker drivers are not wheels on your car!

If you buy decent speakers, they should not EVER require tightening anything unless the manufacturer recommends it. But go ahead and wreck your expensive toys and claim that they sound better because of overly tightened brass screws. After all, you're probably smarter (and have better hearing) than any engineer who's been designing speakers for 20 years.

And be sure to wrap driver magnets in layers of metal and cork, just in case the magnet acts as a heatsink. Restricting heat dissipation can only improve performance, right up until the voice coil fries.

I believe there are loose screws here, but they're not in any speakers. Oh well, at least it's fun.

Peace,
