I'm all for opposite opinion

But this guy has chimed in on just about everyones post in this thread with no other purpose than to "correct" them about virtually everything.

All the while not addressing even one of my original questions.

So I took it for what it was, but thanks.

I don't think one has to be a rocket scientist to see floors are horizontal and move in the verticle and walls are the opposite. But the real criteria is there is nothing exerting force on the wall, but people are walking on the floor. On top of that, the wall is probably load bearing in which case the weight of the entire house is damping it. Nothing is damping the floor, unless as I said it's a basement floor. I cannot see how anyone could question a wall mount not being an ideal setup unless the room has seriously faulty walls.

After that, the only vibrations reaching the table are coming from the music itself, and that is a constant regardless of where the tables is.

This reminds me of the argument about whether a dust cover should be left on or not. Some say it blocks airborn waves and should stay on and down, others say it's a reciever for waves which it transmits to the base and should be taken entirely off. mea culpa....

I think at this point I am going to do nothing. Sometime next year I will probably get a used VPI Scout, simply because they are common, well regarded and I can buy it reasonable enough. I'll pit it against my AR and see for myself.

Thanks for all your insights and kind words.

It's all about the music...
