Am I crazy????? Try THIS


So my friend needs stands for his book shelf speakers. We can't find any in my little town. I had an idea, HANG THEM!!! They sound so much better. Why? Before you get crazy we didn't have to drill the cabinets or anything we just built a "harness" of sorts. It looks somewhat different, but for about $11.75 we hung both his speakers with braided wire and some eye screws etc. And they sound better to me. Anyone done this?

Haven't done it but have heard of it. Meant to be the ideal means to isolate the speakers from the floor, which is especially important with resonant floors such as suspended wood etc. The main difficulty is actually having them in a safe way (wouldn't want $10k speakers falling on the floor now would we?). This is most important in cases where your speakers are heavy - 50+ lbs per speaker.
Being an audiophile you have to be crazy? This is actually the preferred way to do it.

I remember doing that in the late 70's. My wife would shoot me if I tried it now. I have to get either a divorce or a music room!
