Difficulty Tilting Martin Logans Foward


My experiments indicate that I get the best sound at my listening position with my 72" Martin Logan Sequel II speakers tilted foward. However, when tilted more than just a little, they are ready to topple over! Anyone out there figure out hot to tilt these foward without knocking them over? Anyone know of any stands that would allow for this? (I emailed sound-anchor but they did not respond).

Easy Dude -- just Epoxy a 20 lb barbell plate to the rear of the woofer cabinet -- which could have additional anti-resonance benefits.
You did not mention if you have the speakers on cones, some type of platform, etc...

As such, if it is sitting flush on the floor, you can go to your local hardware store and pick up some simple wooden shims. These come in little packages and can be added to achieve whatever lift or tilt ratio that your trying to achieve.

If your using cones, etc... you can try using smaller cones in front and taller cones in the rear. This will give you the forward lean that your looking for.

Neither of these will deal with your problem of the speakers not being balanced. Merely suggestions that might or might not work. Good luck and let us know what you end up doing. Your experience with this one might end up benefitting someone else. Sean

My earlier post wasn't meant to be taken literally, but to serve as a model for what needs to be done. If you can somehow add weight to the back or bottom rear of the woofer enclosure without marring or damaging the cabinet, that should bring things back into balance. If the top of the woofer box is flat, you could probably apply weight toward the rear of that surface. Sand-filled bags or lead shot might suffice.
