    "made feet from steel,where the floor spikes fit into". So, the speakers are floating on the carpet........shakes head.

    What's with the electrical tape holding the tweeter in? Or is it for enclosure sealing? Regardless, if you really are too lazy to drill proper mounting holes and decide to use something like duct tape and still insist your a custom speaker expert, the tape job should look like Martha Stewart herself cut and applied it.

    Did I see Martin Logans and many moons?

    Perhaps a "niner" was in there some where?

    I swear, I saw I heard a niner .
