Bookshelf speakers 用唔用釘?

Hello everyone,

I am using a pair of DIY ProAc speaker and I put them on the top shelf of my Hi Fi rack. The shelf is around 1.5" thick and very solid.

Just wonder do I need to put "nails" underneath my pair of speakers? What difference will "nails" give? I used to put my speakers (old set) on stands ..... wow, the difference is quite significant.

Please advise. Many thanks.

Dear KK Sir,

My colleagues are your students, ha..ha..

What would you recommend for "nails"? You know, my set of speaker is just around $ 2.5K.

Please advise. Many thanks

My cat is "saluting" me when I take this photo. I just woke him up and he is not really happy about it....

This is one suggestion I will try.

I have heard that putting "nails" underneath the Bookshelf speakers can improve the Base performance. Is that true?

Many years ago, I realised that the sound quality of my AR speakers improved tremendously after I put them on a pair of BBC speaker stands. I know that stands are good for speakers, just that I can't afford to use one now because of the living room setting.

Hello,

You just put one layer of those matt beneath the speaker or you roll it up like a "spring roll" and then put the speaker on top.

One of my colleagues tried putting two steel rolls underneath the speakers, ha.ha.

Thanks for sharing

Thanks for your advice ja4244, I will try out different settings and let you know my feelings / experience of using the matt.

For KK Sir, I will post my cats photos in the other Forum --- 發燒瑣事 instead ... as this one is DIY. Just give me a day or two to dig up those photos.

:wink:
