    Mounting speakers on a stand

    Mounting speakers on a stand

    Thanks Al Ears. I'll try the blutack first as I have some spare. Alternatively how about some cushioned twin stick tape or velcro tape? Would hold the speaker more securely and offer some sound isolation. Something like this...

    Mounting speakers on a stand

    Thanks Tzutzu, thats what Richer Sounds said. I read mounting speakers on shelves or on furniture was a bad idea acoustically and that I should buy a quality stand.
