Source Brand
Stereophile (3/1998)
 
Construction
All you need is four quarters and two dimes, 60 cents per speaker.
 
Setup
Place a quarter on each of the front corners of your speakers, and a dime at the middle of the front edge of the speakers.
 
Use
 
Performance
Not easy to scientifically justify, but this tweak works! To my ears the sound is more open with greater airiness around performers. There is noticeable gain in resolution, smoothens and imaging. Go figure?
 
Other
This tweak is dead simple to try out and experiment with. Many readers of Stereophile have, which generated quite a polarization of opinion.

Kevin I have used this tweak on my Bose 301's. A quarter on each front corner and the dime over the rear outside corner (rear facing tweeter). I find you can tune the sound by changing from quarters in front to quarters in back corners depending on the sound you desire. Don't know why but definite improvement in sound!
