BobLooks good. I always had been thinking of doing similar but never got around to it.
Couple thoughts:
1. One reasons I had not done it yet ... once the metal plugs are removed, the sound transmission still has to pass through the metal holders for the banana plugs -- I suspect this limits the overall benefit (significantly ??).
Thoughts from forum welcome ???
2. I see the main benefit from the dampening of the crossover.
?? Should the board be a heavier substance to dampen further, the oak is fairly light (looks great though). Or should the platform just be placed off of the speaker stands (probably ideal -- but increases covered floor, not as neat looking)
I am considering ordering two 24" x 11" marble slabs in all solid black to act like your boards but to have more weight for more dampening, at 4 cm thick they would weight close 30lbs each ... to place under my 20.1 crossovers, but on top of the mye stands just like you have the boards. Will run ~$200-250.
The 20.1s also "hang" by the gold plated bars and two thicker but not very well balanced supports -- I suspect the crossover vibrates a lot !!
Thanks
