Very tidy. My setups do not begin to approach your level of wire dressing. ---

You can try putting water in the base, and wetting the sponges to see if that affects sound! ---

Oooh…me likey. These almost look made to order. Please let us know it they end up being more than just aesthetically pleasing. Very nice, in any event. Great find. Cheers. ---

The floor, it is the speaker cable, right? Downside, you need a 20ft deep 3 inch gap running across the floor, otherwise you don’t get the correct separation. It can be a bit of a trip hazard, still the rug hides it quite nicely. ---

My wife does not like the sight of speaker cables. The cables are flat anyway, so I stuck them to the floor under some self-adhesive vinyl. ---

The cables are not under the floor. They are flat cables covered by some self-adhesive vinyl that matches the floor. This was at my wife’s request to make the cables disappear. She’s a bit OCD. ---

Sorry Steve, I’ve only just got, that those pictures are yours, rather than stock photos of unconnected speakers. ---
