Hello all.
I have a pair of Tannoy Revolution Signature DC6T and a pair of DC4T in a HiFi/5.1 setup. I have apsolutely no crytisisms about them at all, I love them, except... on a wood floor they are rather vulnerable to being knocked over (thanks to a rather heavy-handed father-in-law who 'just can't understand why they have to be so far from the wall!' and an unfortunate incident with some over-vigorous hoovering!).
I currently have them on their spikes, sitting on the 'cups' that came with them. They are rather top-heavy with a small footprint, hence their succeptability to come crashing down!
My question is whether anyone knows of any solutions to increase the footprint and/or the mass at the bottom? I have had one thought; to have a 4cm thick granite slab cut to a few centimetres larger than the base of the speakers. I would bolt this directly to the base of the cabinets through the threads that currently hold the spikes. Then, I would put the spikes on the underside of the granite and sit that on the floor. This would both increase the mass of the speaker as a whole also increasing the footprint and lower the centre of gravity.
I would be very grateful if you have any thoughts, warnings, suggestions or any other ideas.
Many thanks,
CF.
