Something on top of a speaker=okay?


We have a (toy) stuffed dog laying on top of one of our floorstanding speakers. Does this affect the sound?  

Do I need to find an identical breed of stuffed dog to put on the other speaker to maintain balance? Does it matter if it's a dog, an elephant or a cute bunny? What about the color? We can dye the dog's fur if that improves the soundstage.

Best way to know is experimenting. Try with and without and also move it to the other channel. And try different music before you draw a conclusion. In my opinion, yes it will make a difference, but is that difference an improvement? Your ears are the final judge. 

Good luck 

I don't know.  I might be concerned with the taxidermy chemicals being bad for the drivers.

And my posting asking if the air pressure in the listening room makes a difference got deleted?
