Totem Hawks

I'm using Claws on 3/4" marble slabs on carpet. I might try putting the Claws on the carpet and mass-loading them with sand.

When I first got them I was using an Exposure 3010 integrated amp (100 WPC) and Chord Odyssey Biwire. I've since changed over to an Audio Research VS110 and am still using the Odyssey as it is an excellent match.

Yeah, that's a big thing given my 1.5 yr old son loves dancing in front of the speakers. I'm still using the bearings, as there is a noticable increase in the tightness of the bass and overall sound quality.

This is the ONLY thing that my wife doesn't like about the Hawks. She loves the looks, and she loves the sound. High WAF is a rare thing indeed.

With an uneven floor, here are a few things you could try:

- a bead of clear silicone caulk around the ball bearings (get someone else to hold the speakers in place as you're applying it)

- set the bearings in Vibrapods (I have some #1's and #2's on the way and this will be one of the experiments I do)

- go to Home Depot and pick up some 12x12 granite tiles and level them with small wedges of wood
