I just saw, that at one of my Sbl‘s the tweeter cabinet is mounted with a bit less distance than the other. Just remembered that is was a bit difficult due to the old screws.
I know that there is some cardbox help, wich I can use or make myself a new one. Remember that it was stuck in between when I fixed the screws :0)
Is there a minimum distance which is needed due to sonic reasons?
There is definitely air in between (1 to 1,5mm). The upper cabinet is properly fixed and separated from the one below - separated as it comes with the Naim SBL
I very much like to leave it as it is, as I am happy to have the Sbl set up. And my eyes are not near field performers anymore (new glasses ahead again …)
Is this fine for sound quality or do I need to remount with more space in between?
Thanks guys

PS2: for cosmetic reasons I need to remount sbl - please do not trigger this
The fact that you choose to ask suggests you are unhappy with it. If they were mine - I’ve owned three pairs over the years - I’d want them exactly the same. Even if it made no sonic difference it would look right. Imagine having one of your sideburns longer than the other - it’s just not right. Get that piece of cardboard out and in ten minutes it will be sorted out.
LoL … just asked my girlfriend what sideburn means…
You are correct - once you know where to look, you can’t unlook.
But if have heared for a really long time as it is. Also trying to avoid any hypochondriac issues when hearing after fixing.
Remember having some time spent for side adjustment…
The reason I ask is only for sound reasons … but with common sense, I admit that it is a bit silly to ask. Separated cabinet is also seperated with less air in between.
Fixed it … took me some time as I wanted it 100 % but now my haircut is symmetric … thanks for pushing me.
By the way. I have chips on the way and ordered new Sbl spikes.
Mine are a bit rusty.
I have a „cool room“ with tiles and Nevertheless would like to give the chips a try. Which position do you recommend for the chips. Intended position or upside down?
