In Reply to: RE: Has anyone tried strapping their speakers down? posted by genungo on June 28, 2015 at 13:14:46
I forget the name of the company but there was a speaker stand made that clamped the speaker between a top and bottom base years ago if I recall correctly or was it just the electronics in a stand that clamped them? Anyone recall the manufacturer?

Sounds like the kind of thing inmate "Stehno" might be into. Maybe he'll chime in soon.
In the early-90s, RoomTune made a so-called SpeakerClamp, a rectangular jig, which used rods to hold the speaker in place. I recall Michael Green trying to tell showgoers that the SpeakerClamp's frame was large enough to hold a wide variety of bookshelf speakers. Because of the girth of the frame, you could also make minor adjustments to the speaker's distance from the floor.
Did the SpeakerClamp work? For the ProAcs (sorry, I don't recall the exact models) I saw, playing with the tension in the clamping force did effect small sonic changes.
Alas, audiophiles did not like the aesthetics, likening the SpeakerClamp to a torture rack. Thus, the SpeakerClamp, AFAIK, did not sell well.
RoomTune went on to modify their JustaRacks, so that they could, with the use of cones and cups, clamp components.
Thx Lummy....that's a trip down memory lane. Although the whole clamping thing never panned out, that may have been the first time I remember seeing the "threaded rod" shelving concept. Still viable today. As I remember, his (Michael Green's) speakers had cabinet tunable tension rods as well.
Thanks, that's the one I was thinking of.
