RE: Amplifier Junction Boxes with Magnetic Steel Screws

To my ears, the quality of image definition/ space reflects the amount of vibration while the exposure of small detail/ contrast/ ease of listening reflects the exposure to EMI and noise pollution. So space was not the primary benefit.

However I did substitute brass insert + screws for the brass wood screws on the top and bottom pairs of holes on the rear panel of my speakers today. (The middle two pairs of holes are too close to the edge of the 'wood' cabinet.) Having heard marked reduction in vibration/ improvement in sound image tightening from doing that on the tweeters, mid-range and bass on the front in the past, I had zero idea what to expect from doing something so relatively periferal on the back. To my surprise it audibly tightened up the sound images further for greater solidity. So minimizing vibration around the speaker cable input connections and the bottom of the cross-overs in this way definitely provides more space as vibrational blurring shrinks around the solid definition of sound images.
