Spikes

Brainwater,

I never said they were not useful, just not really necesary. They definatly make an audible difference and really help, but the speaker will actually continue to function without them. ;)

The cabinet motion of an uncoupled speaker to the surface beneath will be as great as the excursion of the tweeter. Negating some benefits of time alignment and possibly creating cancellation..Tom

Forgive my ignorance, but what is coupling?

Yea , I know Slappy , I have just been waiting to say that. Couldnt help myself. I know you know whats going on .

coupling = mechanical grouning.

you havent heard your speakers yet till you install the spikes / bubble balance to center. the difference is dramatic.
