| Suggestions for speaker stand platforms? Dpatterson, your set up is pretty much what I have in mind. It looks like you are spiking the speakers to the platforms, but not the platforms to the floor. Correct? What are the footers under your a platforms? Can you comment on any changes in yo... | |

| Sub for Merlin TSM-MX's A quality sub for under $1K that mates well with Merlin TSMs? Consider a REL Strata III. My Merlins are mated to one and I have quite satisfied with it.There's even a "brand new" one up for auction right now. (I am not associated with the seller o... |
