In Reply to: Re: Von Schweikert speakers can be loaded with SAND posted by Burnt Fingers on February 7, 2007 at 19:40:39:
I live in Brandon, not far away!
I was the person who suggested using the lead shot in your speakers from another thread.
I would NOT worry one bit about the sand in your speakers.
I can tell you that sand, and lead shot both have a different effect sonically, and I have been known to actually mix the two for the exact sound I wanted.Though we live in Florida, we have air conditioners.
A/C units take humidity out of the air!
That is why A/C units have drip pans, so the excess water removed from the air has a place to go!I have been adding sand to speakers I have built and bought for years here in Florida, and NEVER corroded, or compromised any part of any of my speakers.
I was unaware of Von Schweikerts "new recommendation" to add sand.
They had been suggesting lead shot,,AFAIK ?But, I added sand AND lead shot to MY VR 4 Jr's because that what sounded best to me.
I wound up, after countless hours of experimentation with 13 lbs total lead shot/sand mix.
I used 8lbs sand, and 5 lbs lead shot, mixed together.
No worries here!
