    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    My heavy speakers are sitting on carpet, with underfelt and on a concrete floor. So aside from spikes which of these recommendations would be good.

    Bumpy-I don't know what you are currently using, but if there is no need to move them every now and then, maybe try spikes if you haven't already, or leave them as they are. Otherwise, castors would be good too, or even try a hockey puck under each corner, cheap to try. Sometimes that is all it is, experimentation. Maybe you might hear something you like, or maybe not.

    I do move them from time to time, and like the idea of hockey pucks. That is new to me so will give it a try. Thanks

    Chris I've got this exact speaker predicament. Got each my Klipsch on a thick wooden board at the mo but want to try some solid metal cones for a comparison and to try in conjunction.

    I use a series (5 or 6) granite floor tile sandwich with small self adhesive silicon rubber kitchen door stops as isolators between each layer (all from local DIY chains) then some larger heavy duty rubber feet on the base.

    I am in the process of ordering some industrial pneumatic isolators (used for very sensitive industrial measuring equipment - and only around £7 each) that will bolt to a simple chassis on which the speakers stand.

    My DM70 Continentals are on the granite sandwiches described above with the speakers steel support frame sitting on large heavy duty rubber pads that are used on professional car jacks. They have a slot in them that slides over the B&W frame perfectly (they were £2 each off the internet).

    Regards, Martin

    Got two sets of these on their way supposedly made from ebony with a copper tip? Anyone tried similar? I'll report back in due course with my findings.
