Thanks Lee - I'm glad you approve. The Gaias are a recent addition and I'm still assessing them. I'm using Gaia IIs but the weight really needs Gaia Is.

The new outrigger brackets come with cones fitted with very small rubber inserts that aren't up to the AG's weight and pop out if you try to move the speakers - scratched floor! With cones removed, Gaias or M8 spikes can be used instead.

The cost of the F-shaped brackets was quite modest and could be modified to have the horn tubes slung under the forks instead to sat on top. This would be better if you don't have the curved shims as I doubt AG would supply them now and they were quite costly, or you could get small rubber wedges or equivalent to keep the horns stable and secure.

If you're interested, I'd be happy to send a drawing with dimensions, modified for under-slinging and the short list of small parts required. Only 3 or 4 holes need to be drilled into the back of the sub cabinets for the frame and the feet brackets are each fixed with 3 small screws. The whole job can be done in a couple of hours, with a willing helper needed just to support the horn tubes while the bolts are being inserted.

Mine are unmodified Duos but if a pair of Omegas turn up, I'll consider getting them. Peter
