If it is then try to keep that above the squash balls -
sprung mass is what it is all about.


No, taking springs out of the equation is what it's all about (this time
round, anyway)....



But springs are good for things like this unless you are absolutely
certain of the seismic stability of your setup. You need to find
somewhere that isn't on a tectonic plate for that and it can't be on a
rack either. At the very least you are begging for acoustic feedback
from the speakers if you go solid (and if you are, why do it via
wooden cones which can only introduce worse resonance problems, rather
than just bolt the ******* down?).



What, just flump it down?

(****, I never though of that.... ?? :-)

Anway, wanna look at my balls?

(What were you expecting? ;-)

Those and two sponges cost 1.50 all in - I asked the blokey in the Handyman
shop (an Aladdin's cave....) if they were *sonically superior* to Shakti
Stones and he said 'Oh yiss, guv - honest'...!!

YHFL....

:-)

Well, squash isn't a word that comes to mind looking at those - don't
like the look of those shears either, especially in context :-(
