Your Sound Equipment

I would recommend using speaker stands and fill them with sand or lead shot. It will greatly improve overall sound.

You talking about the subwoofer that has its own chimney?

It's a port dammit.

 

I'll probably rebuild it when we move. It has no need for that much port area.

If you only knew how good it sounds...you wouldn't care what it looked like. Though it could sound the same built to different proportions.

[sword_fish]

yeah, looks can be deceiving sometimes. but that one proved it's purpose somehow.... if only i can see it on my own eyes and hear it. i'll be damned.

Function over form is my modus operandi.

I would recommend using speaker stands and fill them with sand or lead shot. It will greatly improve overall sound. And when your ready, do a crossover upgrade.

Thanks guys, I was wondering why speaker stands would help with sound? Would it make a noticeable difference?

speaker stands works like magic for most. it simply lifts the speakers off the ground yet in a stable, less vibrations that diminishes unwanted coloration which improves overall tonal quality.

so did the tweeters would be at your ear level while you are at sitting at your listening position.

[Stonerboy779]

Stands are primarily to bring the speakers to the right listening height to give proper stereo imaging. Having the tweeters at ear level is best.

 

Furthermore good quality speaker stands can isolate vibrations from speaker cabs. Best soundstage comes from speakers at the proper listening height and then playing around with positioning. Bringing them out from the wall and having very little stuff between them is best but not always practical.
