These are little metal cones, put them under your speakers and you will have midrange galore, esp, guitars and vocals

Setup
Place one Topper under each corner of your stand mounter, i.e, 4 in total for each speaker, oh, they also make an improvement on CD players, it sounds more fluid!

Performance
OK, I wasn't expecting too much from these, first of all I listened to my favorite artist, Paul Weller, i.e. plenty of guitar, it used to just be part of the whole sound but now, as he is the lead guitarist anyway in his band, he actually stands out as lead guitarist, with every nuance of his playing coming out. Also his vocals are much more pronounced, every breath is heard and again, he is more "there". Snare drum attacks with vigor and realistic flavor, but there has been a slight trade off.... Bass extension has suffered slightly, there is still the weight but it doesn't go as low, this doesn't particularly bother me as the trade off has been worth it!
 
Other
Try them if you can. they are quite cheap so there's nothing to lose!

Dave H. Try 3 toppers under each speaker, 2 front corners and 1 centre rear. A triangle is a more stable shape and reduces micro-rocking. Dave G.B.
