@yyzsantabarbara  Since the speaker is coupled to the podium I don’t see how it can’t move in sync with the podium. It is possible I guess that the top of the speaker might move less than the bottom of the speaker which is closest to the podiums....

I think the 2 major factors in deciding whether to use footers or not are of course the type of floor you are on and the speakers themselves. A suspended wood floor would definitely require footers of some type regardless of speaker used. On a con... 
What say you: Is this fair, or AITA?
Just make the initial contact through their messaging system. Use “code” to exchange contact info then do the deal on your own. Easy peasy.   
How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers?
@prof  Which speakers have the best sound quality ? The JA or the Thiel ?   
Acoustics experts - a little help please
@maprik  @mahgister gave good advice about consulting an acoustician. Most people here are too proud to consult one or just want to try to figure it by themselves spending years sometimes with mediocre results. Jeff at hdacoustics is very good. H...
