Nope, not trying to pick a fight. Simply asserting my opinion that speaker placement is more important than "tweak" implies. > Because it defeats the purpose of the spikes.

Many floors are not perfectly level, and using spikes (even with cups underneath them) allow for the speaker cabinet to be solidly placed on an uneven surface. Without them, you have an inconsistent surface-to-surface contact, which can cause resonances in the cabinet and the floor that are detrimental to the performance of the speaker. There is also benefit to raising the speaker off the floor. > Since you don't like my tweak, where are yours? I love your suggestion...I just don't think it's as minor as a tweak. I'm not big on tweaks. I do believe in vibration control devices and power conditioning, and of course room acoustic treatments, so I guess I could talk about those...but I don't believe you can "tweak" room acoustic treatments or power conditioning, and I've already seen the carnage caused in another thread when discussing vibration control, so I chose not to jump there. If I had to mention one, I'd say make sure your seat doesn't have a headrest on it to cause reflections right behind your head. Probably would say the same thing about cupping your hands around your ears... -- PhilNYC Sonic Spirits Inc. http://www.sonicspirits.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PhilNYC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=837 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33956 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
