Speaker stands pointless?

[Gaz]

Before I start a riot the title isn't a serious question

BUT

I had an engineer in yesterday to repair and service my boiler (again) this meant moving my speakers to allow him access to the boiler and water tank.

I plonked on speaker on top of a radiator and the other on a unit right in the corner of the room, both were against wall, one was 2 feet in front of the other and neither was solidly held onto anything. Despite all this they still sounded pretty good, this was confirmed when the boiler engineer commented on the sound quality.

Why do we bother?

personally purely because levitation isn't one of my abilities :-)

Hmm actually we may be onto something.

Full of water, rigid, solidly bolted to the wall.......

Bake-off required! Will gas-powered central heating radiators outperform electric storage heaters? Does the type of boiler used make a difference?

And they can double up as grounding boxes ........

I had a new shower fitted recently - improved the wifi reception no end

Depends if the electric storage heaters have fancy power leads, no point storing contaminated electricity

[Markiii]

I would expect storage heaters to sound better unplugged

Obviously they sound better.They have been pre-warmed!
