RE: Is this what you mean?

My neighbor just up the street has the item shown in the photo posted by Winston Smith. It was quite costly, as I recall (~$1500??), and we could hear a difference with it "in" vs "out" of his system. He placed it between the speakers, as you suggest. Whether this difference in sonic character was in the realm of greatness I would not say, but I rather preferred the sound when it was in place in his rather small room in his system. Like you, this experience prompted me to move around our set of brass fireplace tools, which sit more or less between my speakers in my much larger listening room. Very similar effect but I don't claim it is quite as obvious. I also keep an eye out for large brass bowls that cost much less than $1500. However, I will grant that the tuning bowl is very thick brass in certain areas, and it has that protrusion at its center, which can be seen in the photo. This suggests that it is indeed "tuned" to resonate at certain frequencies.
