I have tannoy Cheviots too and don't find that keeping them on the floor to be a problem. However, the person I purchased them from suggested that if I wanted to elevate them to put them on marble or stone slabs in a rectangle shape a few inches smaller than the speaker shape, then use putty to mount them and offset vibrations. Haven't tried it but you may want to. I am loving my tanoys - just purchased them.
Mount up floorstanding speakers, should we?
Hi,
I tried to mount my Tannoy (floorstanding) Cheviots last week on bricks yet they sound very different, in a bad way. The sound becomes lifeless, much of the bass is gone, sound stage is missing, imaging is poor, almost everything has gone worse.
I wonder if it's wrong to mount a floorstanding speaker. They sit too low (concentric drivers centre at least 20cm below my ear level!)even I am sitting on my sofa and that's the why I need to mount them up.
Thanks
Chris
