Well, since you've pulled off the back to look at them, you can get some non-drying clay and lightly coat them to make them more solid and less resonant - as I assume that you play them loudly.

The drivers vibrate and are connected to the cabinets which are then connected to the floor. Neither the cabinets or the floor (walls and other objects in the room too) should vibrate, creating their own sound/noise. It's all not part of the music. Rubber (or other similar material) feet...

I do have the JBL305MkII's They are excellent - but you'll need two separate 1/4 inch plugs or XLR connectors to play them from the source. If it's just regular speakers with the A/V receiver then it's these - http://philharmonicaudio.com/aa.html

Something like - 22, 22E, 33, 33E and 505/505E

Seriously? What's so hard about coming up with slightly different "names" for these? 5, 5E, 55, 55E, 515 and 515E - easily very confusing.

They were excellent. Much better in every way. Anyway, they are "old" speakers now.

Yes, you definitely have it correct. You can even place something like - as I have done in the past - a stone/brick slab (which I covered in contact paper for looks) on top of the speakers to increase its mass and make it more solid.

RAAL also produces their own speakers - the last time I checked.

I would say that they are generally a better deal because of reasons stated in post #2. However, those reasons are somewhat offset because the big boys have more money for R&D and reduced costs through manufacturing by volume so it's probably not as big a difference. However, the gap has become...

So what exactly are the Near Field Rules? lol

Gosh, is there any way you could get someone to send a measly 250/week my way? They'd never notice and I'd be eternally grateful to you!

I DO so??? Geez, I'm not that dumb. I need to come to this forum more often. :confused: :eek: o_O

Hokies83 - I assume you graduated then. I do so in '84!

These stands look a bit more sturdy for a few dollars more.

Well that's a deal! All's well. I'm on another audio forum and only check back here occasionally and often don't say anything. Too much time on the internet, you know......

Still, Dennis must have a few lying around cause that's more efficient than when I bought speakers from him. Did you pick them up or were they delivered via FedEx?
