Hifisand,
Good to see your post. It will be interesting to hear your comments on the new sound room at your home. I was going to take the my Mye stands off for a little while for re-positioning my 3.7i's. They sound ready good but I think they have more to give. I haven't picked up any Still points yet. I'm just not certain I would hear that big of a change. I think I will go with longer speaker cables first so I can move my audio cabinet out from behind my speakers. Don't forget to put up some pictures of your new room once it is all set up. ~Mike Last edited by mgard; 12-21-2015 at 02:15 PM. |

I have made many changes to my Magnepan 3.6s (active and passive crossovers, rewiring, interior sock removal, & better speaker binding posts), and I can say that of all of them, these are the first you should make and the most cost effective. There is a significant benefit in sound improvement from the better bracing that is supplied. These are an extremely well made product that has no equal on the market - couldn't possibly be made any better. Grant's a great guy to deal with too!

Berry,
You may have commented elsewhere but what are your thoughts on replacing the spikes on the Mye stands with Stillponits? Don't you hang your 3.6's from the ceiling? Thanks, ~Mike |

My speakers are on a concrete subfloor.- no need for Stillpoints I don't know why anyone would hang their speakers from the ceiling.....

Hey Barry,
I thought you might be Berry Diament of Soundkeeperrecordings. I tried to find who had tried this and it appears it wasn't Barry (who has done extensive testing with vibration control). The whole reason this person was mentioning this was to eliminate vibration. These are Berry's comments below. The minuses: Suspending the speakers means they'll "swing" which will harm definition at all frequencies. One alternative would be to have them firmly attached to the ceiling so they can't swing but such mounting would bring any structural vibrations right to the speaker/crossover. It also prevents the use of a vibration isolation bass. |
