Stands for PMC FB1+
I would like to get stands for my PMC FB1+ speakers.
Objectives, in order of importance:
(1) Make the speakers more stable / less likely to tip over. (First child arrives soon.)
(2) Improve the sound on current hardwood floor.
(3) Potential to improve the sound on carpeted floor in the future.
Options & problems:
(1) Buy a pair of plinths from PMC. The local PMC dealer said they could not be ordered separately, and I�m not sure they would be wide enough to achieve Obj. 1.
(2) Buy a pair of Sound Anchor cradle bases. Great for carpet, but are they effective on wooden floors? Need to use something other than sharp spikes (see �first child� comment above).
(3) Buy a pair of Sub Dudes, drill the platforms, and attach them with bolts. Would attaching them with bolts interfere with their effectiveness? Supposedly great for wooden floors, but it seems like they would no longer work if / when I move to carpeted floor.
(4) Ask local woodworking shop to make bases that can be attached with bolts. Wooden stands might add resonance problems. Would need spikes or other method of leveling.
I�m leaning toward the Sound Anchors. Is that the best option? Are there other options I haven�t considered? I would welcome any advice you might have. Thanks.
