Bungee Cords

I came up with the idea to secure my speakers to the stands with Bungee cords. It was originally intended as quake protection but seems to be good for sound reasons as well.

It didn't sound very good, sucking the life out of the music." One expects that can easily happen when the person is all thumbs. Bungee cords are used in many Engineering grad schools as an inexpensive but effective solution. A Bungee system can achieve a very low resonant frequency. It helps considerably to know which bungee cords to select and how to implement them, naturally.
