Yes, care to explain that rather petulant (and unjustified) remark, Horatio?
Your original query was about binding posts on Tannoy Devon speakers, which are a smallish bookshelf design. Then you post a picture of much bigger speakers and claim that the 'problem is fixed'.
How does that make any sense? So it's justified that you were questioned on it!

...those pictures look like Devons, from Horacios other thread. I remember seeing those photos on eBay a few months ago when someone was selling a load of stuff that had belonged to Martin Hannett.. Maybe Horacio got his photo posting mixed up.

Horacio, you seem to have found a happy solution, but if you have a woodwork room and experience building cabinets, I really don’t think that you will struggle with a minor tweak such as swapping speaker posts. Plus, if I had Martin Hannetts speakers I would be 100% taking a look inside to see what adjustments he’d made, or whether he’d stashed anything in there and forgotten about it...
Best of luck
