Thought I might add that when you add a base to your speakers, make sure you do not use the base to move the speakers. They might not be designed to do more than support the speaker, such as the B&W speakers with SA stands! The stands do help in my opinion though. Using Sound Anchor with B&W 804N"s Best, Charlie
speaker base help
1st thank you all for some excellent advice on my speaker purchase. I went with a used Meadowlark Kestel Hot Rod and I think that it's going to work out well.
One concern with the Kestrel is that because of its elegant shape ( about 9" x 9" x 3' high ), one of my kids or their friends is going to knock it over. I'm thinking that a solution might be a stone base - approximately 15" x 15"- that would be through bolted to the the treaded sleeves at the bottom of the speaker where the spikes are intended to go. I'd probably put a thin rubber gasket between the speaker and the stone and nylon casters on the bottom of the stone. The stone will most likely be soapstone since I can get it & its easy to work with. The stone would sit on a wood floor.
Is this a good idea? Thanks again.
