Re: Speaker stands
Those Wharfdale speakers with the matching stands are beautiful to my mind. Very retro 70's look.

Re: Speaker stands
You must have been looking at the Wharfedale Linton, Geoff ? They sure are attractive. The proportions are different with mine - 32 cm cubes on 40cm stands plus 12 cm tweeter cube on top of the main cube.
Thanks for your words of encouragement. My joinery skills will certainly get tested. To be honest I have in a way been dreading this part. No more hiding behind crappy chipboard prototypes and quick aesthetic ignorant experiments.

Re: Speaker stands
The photographs on the web site show records on the shelf. My concern was putting a hard surface under a speaker, a potential resonant cavity.

Re: Speaker stands
I agree. Leave it open frame. Maybe the shelf is optional?

Re: Speaker stands
Has anybody here ever wall mounted their Cubes ?
It would help to have solid walls which I happen to have. As the Cube's up firing mid bass is in phase with the floor then maybe it doesn't make sense. Hard to faff about with positioning unless the brackets are adjustable

Re: Speaker stands
There are adjustable wall brackets out there but you'd need to ensure they were study to stop the speaker moving in response to the mid/bass driver.karatestu wrote: ↑Sun Aug 01, 2021 11:22 am Has anybody here ever wall mounted their Cubes ?

Re: Speaker stands
I wall mounted my jpws.
Things I learnt
Make sure the wall will take the speakers, preferably a brick wall .
Use long enough plugs and screws for the weight
Don't have any adjustability in the platform you are attaching to the wall. It will be a source of weakness and defeat the point.
It was a very good solution

I'd be making them myself, especially considering I have the very unusual configuration of up and down firing mid bass. The force cancelling nature of bipolar opposing drivers might make my speakers more suitable for wall mounting.
