Yes Ben. speakers>spikes>spike shoes>granite.The spike shoes prevent the speakers from slipping aswell.I just bought these granite from a local stone merchant( 40 mm thick!)for £75 a pair.Thanks.BenLaw said:Thanks icemanWhilst I have played around with positioning a bit on mine I haven't yet tried spiked v unspiked, good to hear you got an improvement. Are they then into spike shoes on granite?

To me this looks fantastic. And I must say the ATC 40`s look the deal in black. Awesome. I can only immagine what is the sound like .

The Naims look the biz but still not convinced by the ATC's aesthetics though. No doubt sound is mind blowing.
Love the Mitchell WOW! Have often do you dust it? love to own a Gyro but the thought of no dust cover... no, no, no...
Enjoy!

Thanks PP..about speakers I'm after sound quality(95%)and aesthetics(5%).I never thought that the nap200 can drive them very well.The highs and mid are sweet and delicate and the bass is taut and very responsive even at low volume.There is no hardening on the overall sound even at high volume compare to my previous 703s.The scm40s are by far the most neutral speakers I've heard at this price point.With regards to the Michell gyro se,I just cover it with a silk-like cloth when not in use than using the non sense unicover.Cheers! :rockout:

Totally understand why you and thousands of others love the ATCs... how far from the wall are the speakers? pictures can be deceiving, but they look pretty close.
Dan Turner said:Iceman - how big is your room. Did you find it a struggle to set them up at all and get the balance right? I've finally accepted that my best efforts to tame the bass response of my Neats in my fairly small room (3.7m sq) are not going to succeed, so i'm looking for something else. whilst i don't want excess bass, i also don't want a lack of bass, so i'm wondering if something sealed like the ATCs might be a good option.
Do you find that they need to be played lound to get the best out of them?
El Hefe said:Iceman,
Great looking system. Those ATCs really looks good and matches well with your Naim set up.
jaxwired said:Wow, love the look of the ACT SCM40s in black. Looks sleeker and more modern than the cherry version that is so common. The whole system looks excellent to me. Nice!
