Speaker Spikes - do the shake test
I love it when manufacturers claim they are using material developed by NASA. I bet the people at NASA are laughing their asses off. Or maybe they're saying, "Hey, I developed that!"

Reason for selling is...
I believe a vast majority of sellers are selling because they are either upgrading or simply want to try something different.
