Well yes, but very expensive unless you have an unoccupied church with a lead roof nearby.

Weight would be daft even in a small speaker. BUT if big enough it would be a good place to hide in if we get a nuclear war

Amen..

sorry, couldn't resist thinking of the weight involved :D

Yep I geuss ya would need a fork lift for floor stander's or a pallet truck for the bookshelfs........

One of my early experiments in this were concrete lined speakers in the early 70's.

Here's a speaker enclosure of something called Gibraltar (apparently interacting with some kind of special design inside):

A long time ago,when i played bass guitar in a blues band i made a cab with an 18"goodmans speaker in a closed box with a sand filled back panel.Sounded good until i blew the pigtail leads off the cone.Anyway my next pair of Mr IPL's transmission lines will have a token steel lining,but ,by then i might have to get a man in to move them as i doubt i will have the strength by then. Still amazed how much my Mini Monitors have firmed up since fitting the bulletproof vest...

Transmission lines and horns wont benefit as much if at all.
