My black FR20s arrived this morning, WITHOUT

I hope I don’t come off as “Captain Obvious” by noting that if this is an issue with stereo music sources, then chances are your speakers are too far apart. I would keep fiddling if I were you, but to each his own.

Great system/enjoy!

Great detail suggestion… An appropriately sized, black rubber or plastic cap would complete the assembly nicely (for just a few pennies).

“Nice work.”
TYVM… Without a 2nd person being around constantly to hold the TALL box, it was plenty clumsy, too. :slightly_smiling_face:

“I wonder how they would sound with Townshend Podiums.”
“Now you’re talking.”
Indeed, and instead of talking, YOU gentlemen get to buy all that stuff and tell us. :slightly_smiling_face:

When e-mailing years ago with Steve Herbeline (sp?) of Herbies Audio Labs, I was positing that my concrete-slab floor doesn’t vibrate… He responded, in kinder terms than my summary, that I only THINK my concrete-slab floor doesn’t vibrate… Hmm…thought I…I can feel the occasional large truck driving up and down the main street a halfblock away from the house…I guess it DOES vibrate… That comment and subsequent experience turned me into an isolatist rather than a couplist… I now have all my equipment isolated with various pads and/or devices ranging from $15 Herbies Tenderfoots to $200 AV Room Service’s EVPs.

“Does toe in fix your centre fill problem?”
No, it simply makes the speakers sound brighter.

"Maybe some type of decorative nut cap would be a better look… :+1: "
I suppose, but that nut is the locknut that prevents the foot from screwing in or out inadvertantly from the vibrations of the speaker… Selections in M8-1.25 are VERY limited.

“I hope I don’t come off as “Captain Obvious” by noting that if this is an issue with stereo music sources, then chances are your speakers are too far apart. I would keep fiddling if I were you, but to each his own.”
As discussed earlier in the thread, my projection screen rather limits my options… Parked just outside the screen’s frame, the overall 2-channel sound (and multichannel, too, when played in 4-channel mode without a centerchannel) is quite good–the best I’ve heard in my system… My personal preference is wide-and-deep rather than narrow-and-dense-and-deep, so I’m probably finished fiddling, at least for a while.

“Great system/enjoy!”
TYVM.

Finally have enough burn-in time on the center and surround channels that I’ve turned them off… Still running the stereo channels 24/7, probably until next WE at about 500 hours.

The large plated brass top cap from the stock foot acts like a big lock nut and could be used with this SVS foot (instead of that little nut). Jeff, have you tried these?

Certainly would look better.

Happy Cake Day @straightwire

No; had not thought of that… I’ll try them… Thx Chris.

And ‘try them’ I did.

They look a bit large, but we’ll see.

Hooray for that!

FWIW, this is more aesthetically pleasing; at least to my eyes.

Nice work.

I like it!

Wonderful. Can you say (or guide me to a place you have already said) your thoughts on the Ohm Walsh?

I’ve never heard an Ohm Walsh. Did you mean the Walsh-type-driver HHR Exotics TLS-2s that I own?
