    Looking spectacular. You're spoilt on the speaker front. I'm very jealous.

    Is there a third wire to stabilise front/rear movement?

    Hi Geoff, they don't actually move around on their own.
    They do need to be angled down a little so I will be fitting a thin wire to the base to do just that.

    They are sounding fantastic

    Non hifi folk popping round to your abode must be very puzzled by their appearance, probably think your trying to contact the Martians!

    I was thinking about a similar arrangement for my Magneplanars. I would have thought that there would be some speaker movement (equal and opposite and all that). A third wire would both angle the speaker for optimal listening and provide a gravity resistance against micro movement. I would be interested to find out how the sound changes when you fit the anchor wire.

    Suppose there has to be some movement, but might not be that much with gravity having an effect, and lack of really big base waves etc..... maybe? anyone suspended traditional cone speakers before??
