Mount up floorstanding speakers, should we?

Hi,

I tried to mount my Tannoy (floorstanding) Cheviots last week on bricks yet they sound very different, in a bad way. The sound becomes lifeless, much of the bass is gone, sound stage is missing, imaging is poor, almost everything has gone worse.

I wonder if it's wrong to mount a floorstanding speaker. They sit too low (concentric drivers centre at least 20cm below my ear level!)even I am sitting on my sofa and that's the why I need to mount them up.

Thanks
Chris

It's usually good on proper stand or slab. I have carpetted floor so I put mine spiked on slabs.

the best solution I found is cans of food. Skinny ones work
better than fat ones

Now I know where the canned food market should go.
When do you usually replace them as they'd probably say open by _date_. Perhaps the most fresh ones can serve a-bit longer before they start to blow. The military meal reserve canned food can stay for decades if not more.
