Is there something you dislike about the sound without mass loading? There's no reason you have to add mass to the speakers unless you're worried about them tipping or you feel the bass is over-pronounced (i.e. "boomy"). Another thing to consider is whether or not you might ship the speakers in the future (like if you decide to sell them). Adding material such as lead shot can potentially damage the finish if you're not careful. And materials like sand are a real PITA to get out prior to shipping.
Totem forest And Mass loading
Dose any one hay any recommendations on mass loading for totem forest?
I have just started my first stereo system, and I am running a Pair of forest's through a cary sli-80 integrated amp. Bi-wired with Kimber 12tc cable and next week a new Cary 303T SACD CD player as my new source. I love triode mode over ultra liner looking for more bass throw without wreaking the great overall image by mass loading.
I have only tried dry play sand gives great bass but wreaks the image!
So am looking for another mass loading substance or combination.
My audiophile buddy said to mix it half sand and half lead shot, but has any one used lead shot for there speakers. Also how many pounds in each speaker,
dose it give a more clear image then sand?
Just to Note Troide mode has the same volume output as Ultra Liner but cleaner! Have not bought a good power cord yet.
Dose any one have any Thoughts?
