What's on top of your speaker - Fun/Bizarre/Weird

[Bahamayellow]

Just looking around my audio gear I didn't realize how many things were on top of my speakers around the house. I guess it's to show case some of my collections of other stuff. I know people use to put plants on speakers and turntables which is probably not the best thing to do in this day and age. I wouldn't put anything damaging on a speaker today I know better but I know some of u have some cool and weird stuff on top of ur speaker. I will start off on my 8.1 I have a female Godzilla listening to the music with lipstick and a skull dog. Second pic is a eyeball bowling ball on a subwoofer. Let's see them.

A pair of 1970s disco fixtures. A clay-paky astroscan and a 3 head something I can't find a name for.​

 

[Nightwisher]

Dust.

Air.

Either one or the other, depending on how recently I've cleaned.

However, in one secondary setup I have a set of speakers sitting on top. That's it though.

 

[Hyfi]

Rabbit Furs and nothing else.

My clearfields were abused by original owner and have some rings from beers or other. My Dyns which have never had anything but the furs on them look as if they were just un-boxed.

I don't have many rules but the two main ones ar

Nothing on top of the speakers
and
Nobody but my wife and I touch my music or gear.

 

[blhagstrom]

On one set I have a pair of Weltrons

One is cassette and one is 8-track

 

[Lavane]

This stuff. With Darryl keeping gaurd at the right.

 

[fredgarvin]

A couple of glass votives from Kost Boda. Now they look like HPM 1500's! Sound better though.

My speakers have been used for support towers for many many things. Reptile cages, plants. TV, stereo stuff, books, fish tanks, the occasional booty...

Now-a-days...


And I think they still look good. Been a while since I vacuum brushed the grills so they're dusty, but that high quality vinyl still glows.

[Jimerson]

More speakers

Hmmm let's see........ First my main set up.. We have records! Makes a perfect quick grab go to spot for switching them out. Second, a random sortment of glass pieces an figurines. I've always had a thing for glass objects as you can see. The fun part is, is seeing how much they vibrate an move around after cranking it up a bit. Last but not least it's kinda the corner storage catch all for some while not in rotation, makes great shelving. The last pic was taken several months ago while I was movin stuff around, since then I've picked up quite a bit more to put on them.

Being more than a bit of a time nerd, most of my speakers have at least one clock sitting on top of them. Don't have many pictures as of yet, but here's one of my HyperClock sitting on top of one of my Paradigm Studio Monitors:

And while this isn't a regular occurrence, I've had other stuff sitting on top of the Paradigms from time to time, at least for brief periods. Here are a couple of neat light-emitting devices I had sitting on top of one of them:

This is a cool thread! Great idea!

I have a pair of Kef 105s with the dust cover on, and can't put anything on them. Generally though, on any speaker I can put something on, I do. In my main listening room, if had the following.

The last picture was during renovations. I couldn't wait to put them back in their normal place in the room!
