Hi Terry I wonder if you could give a few specific examples of use. Like what would be a typical use for these in the high treble... in the low bass... etc. The descriptions so far almost make it sound like you could approach the killer octave problem to somewhat a successfull degree this way. There too you have a loud percussive and short lived tone development. One other thought... I wrote a while back about an idea I had for useing opposing magnets in a not so very dissimiliar fashion. Got to thinking that with these high power magnets one could provide both more (a little) mass and extra stiffness. Just musing a bit tonite Cheers RicB Here is a pictures of an assortment of brass-mass - all done from round stock, bandsaw and small drill press. Below is picture of them installed.
