If you have the 1.2tl's on spikes, there is no reason to use the bass brace. It was only intended as an option to using the spikes.

I love auditioning different speakers because the audible differences are so easy to hear. I think I'm gonna hit some Von Schweikert's next, shake things up a little.

I agree but I've been thrown a few curveballs.

Inside curve: Polk suggests the bass brace works better than spikes;

High and outside curve: many people have tauted the bass brace as being better than using spikes;

Bottom drop out curve: With the Mye Sound points in place the top half of the speaker box still has a little more resonance than I like, that is why I placed the 25 lb bags of shot on top which did make a difference.

I'm wondering if the bass brace will illiminated much more of the resonance than the spikes.

So I of course need to hear it to make my own mind up but because we just moved in and things are still up in air about placement, I can't brace the 1.2TLs to the wall. That is why I tried to the sorbothane pods which I think really killed the "good" resonance (if there is such a thing) because the speakers sounded aweful that is why I removed the pods. I am going to try the pods again but a little at a time.

Lou glad to hear your content brother. Plus im glad I can come over anytime and hear your rig as well.:D As for me I'm fairly content with my setup that Lou set me up with. The only upgrade that I see in the near future is to get a new cd player like the Jolida. I got the vinyl rig sounding sweet so untill I buy a house which will hopefully be at the end of this year and I can have a dedicated 2 channel rig and a HT i'm happy.

Right on Lou....!!
Glad to hear that you reached a comfortable place....

That too shall pass..!
But hopefully not for a long time..!

It`s nice to just sit back and dig what ya got goin on...

I finally felt the same way , one day not too long ago, with the office rig....
It`s done...I have acheived more than I realized I would have when I started putting it together, and it`s a great feeling of accomplishment.......and sound friggen awesome..



BUT....I have turned my sights onto the Main Rig, and man am I looking at some major changes, and some tall $$ to acheive what I want from that one....It aint no slouch, but it aint "there" yet either..

Good on ya , bro..

ENJOY !
