Anyone have thoughts on the nets as a viable option for speakers?

Nets can make for an excellent means to suspend speakers! Getting them exactly the same height and angle would be the problem. The very best system I have heard in the 80's had speakers hanging from chains having adjustable height and angle. The speakers sounded wide open that way. I spoke with Disk Sequerra over the phone about how his Met 7ll’s sounded better hung from chains. He then told me his own big speakers (he was looking at while speaking to me) were also suspended by chains. It opens up the bottom end and over all sound for some reason.

OP here.
Loved the memory lane excursions.
As for nets I would think they would do a great job with the vibration and improving isolation. Getting the measurements right would be a pia.  Not to mention SWMBO.

By far the best thread on AG!

I was in Vietnam until February of 73. Either there or in Thailand (where the Air Force sent me next) I ordered an AR receiver, a pair of AR2ax speakers, a Dual 1229 turntable and Shure V15 cartridge. Various vendors offered "deals" to service members, so supposedly I got a good price. Had it all sent home to Denver and lived with that system for a number of years. Used to read Stereo Review religiously.
