Re: blue tack. Yeah, but it feels solid, and they’re seven and ten now so I’m not too worried. The Audio Physics use some separation between stand and speaker for bass. Might try double sided sticky Herbie’s.
When Felix was one and two he loved pushing the buttons on the Naim 5i I had at the time. Frustrating but we worked through it. Now at ten I wish he took the same interest…
yes i notice there are a few more for sale in Germany . We have very few for sale in UK but a fabulous pair of otello advertised recently but shocking price really . there is also a pair of verity audio leonore but they are so unbelievably hard to resell that you have to be very sure when you buy them !! i am sticking to my tannoy eatons legacy for the moment which sound pretty good and there is massive love for tannoy
We don’t have kids, but we do have two 80lb Rottweilers. They are welcome in the listening room supervised but if they get unruly they are banished to the other side of the gate. If that fails I have a personal articles policy on my insurance for the full value of the system.
Oh no, the bigger one is a 2 yr old stray rescue. He’s only been with us less than 2 months and he gets really wound up. We just started obedience classes with him. The other one is a 9 yr old female. We rescued her 16 months ago. She was pretty chill, but now he gets her started. They are a handful.
You could also consider replacing spikes (if that is what you had) with more stable feet such as Isoacoustic Gaias or Soundcare Superspikes (there are other alternatives) as part of your solution. These have better contact with the floor (and I find that the Gaia puck ‘sticks’ my speakers to a wooden floor making them difficult to lift albeit intentionally wobbly). Not a solution for an upfront rugby tackle perhaps but more stability against accidental knocks.
Yeah, I thought of that but when we rescued Frisco, but that was her long time name so we kept it. Brahms – as a stray – was an unknown. The shelter just assigned him the name Otto (a good name, IMO), and we immediately changed him to Brahms. I always thought if I got another male Rottie he would be “Bartok” or maybe “Mahler” (but people might confuse that with Mauler, which does not help with Rottie reputations).
