Default My new Strad isolation device

I would not recommend my new isolation devise that also doubles as a rake straightener. Just an old towel on my hardwood floors to slide the Strads around while waiting for new skylight motorized blinds to be installed. Last month I had a new roof and skylights put on the house and needed to take everything out of my 2 channel room since pieces of old roof were falling through the open skylight holes while the new skylights were being installed. It took about a month for the new motorized skylight blinds to get in and they should be installed this week. Since I will need to move the speakers again for the blind install I have them set up this way without spikes for easy moving. I am looking forward to hearing the Strads properly set up again. After a month it should sound like a whole new system.

Paul, I hope you marked exactly where they were. They sounded amazing! Still working on getting mine that well setup.

Lol! I see you are still using your, hi tech, pillow bass traps in the corner!

Rob, you were not supposed to notice my high tech bass traps. One of these days I will need to make a switch. I do like the sound better with the pillows than without.

Thanks Dan. As well as sounding great I find the Strads to be real audio eye candy. They do look and sound better with the spikes on and the grill covers off.
