Herman, I've tried glass, granite, a number of other stone, various woods and I prefer the sound of acrylic 1/2" to 1" thick depending upon what sits on top of it. If others prefer the effects of glass I think that's wonderful.When I said turn tab...

Upgrade from Silverline 11
If you don't want a floor standing speaker you should consider the Silverline 17 or 17.5. If you like the sound of Silverline, move up the chain, you won't be disappointed and there shouldn't be any surprises.
