Works GREAT on my small speakers. You need to mass load the TOP of the speaker. With classic Fulton FMI 80 bookhelves, in my room, two months ago, I added 16 pound " patio pavers " incrementally, until I stopped hearing much of a difference. It took FOUR added. ( 64 pounds )
I would / could, not go back and listen to my FMI 80s at all, bare, AFTER doing that step-by-step incremental mass increase.
The VOTTs were the same, and I stopped around 290 pounds each. Wonderful and CHEAP.
Like hearing inner detail? Like lower distortion? Like understanding the diction, the words they are singing? Like less driver to driver intermodulation ? Then THIS easy, reversible, and CHEAP mod of mine needs to be TRIED !!!
Picture above is my final 2015 attempt at mass loading, using my LP boxes ( I have 10,000 LPs, most in boxes for now ) and on 12-20-2015, I ended up INCREMENTALLY stopping at 259 pounds, five boxes...sounded better than four !! The " patio pavers " solution I came up with, to replace the LPs, I feel is most elegant as a solution. Cost versus performance....hard to beat.
