Re: Doc modding Marantz imperial 7
I have made four holes in another 150mm diameter indestructible dog ball :grin: Blue this time. Done with a hole saw, tape measure and a few metal squares. I am very pleased with it so far, the holes are in exactly the right places and 90 deg between each hole and it's neighbours. Just needs a bit o...

Re: Doc modding Marantz imperial 7
Thanks for your input Geoff and Rex. It's always good to have some engineers around. We have a saying in agriculture - "That'll be good enough for farming" :lol: Things get fixed with the big hammer. That doesn't cut it here however. This drawing shows nearly perfectly what I have planned....

Up and down in a cube is good, I know that already as my latest prototype is exactly that. I would be nice to have a play around though.

Re: Doc modding Marantz imperial 7
Either design has a high centre of gravity, you need to ensure that it will remain inside the footprint of the speakers. The wider the spacing of the feet the more stable the speaker. Thanks Geoff. I did realise that. I could make the legs from solid round brass bar as I have a load of it. That wil...

Re: Doc modding Marantz imperial 7
