Yes, the picture was taken with the stand on a hard wood floor without any footings or spikes. I screwed in the spikes so that the stand is pitched backward slightly, which makes the top of the speaker horizontal (which I think is the key). One could bend the L-shaped mounting bracket to raise...

I'm happy to report that I finally figured out how to mount the Motion 4s on the Sanus EFSat stands! For details about this stand, see the following link: Sanus EFSat Speaker Stands The distinguishing and compelling features of this model are that it: Supports speakers that weigh up to 10...

Yeah, definitely! I sent a message to BMAC to find out how he mounted them, but unfortunately he hasn't been logged into the forum since April of last year, so I'm not very hopeful that I'll hear back from him anytime soon. If anyone else has any ideas on how to mount the Motion 4s on stands...

I am currently graduating from traditional dynamic speakers to a new level of audio performance featuring Martin Logan speakers (Motion 12 front mains, Motion C center, Motion 4 surrounds, and dual Abyss subwoofers) in a 5.2 configuration. Ever onward!

Sorry, my post was actually directed at folks like BMAC who seem to have successfully mounted the Motion 4s on similar Sanus stands. It turns out that the stand he used actually has the same mounting brackets as the EFSat stand that I have. I will send him a message in the hope of getting his...

I spent several hours trying to mount the Motion 4s on the Sanus EFSat stands, to no avail. If you've been successful in doing this, could you please post a close-up photo showing how you managed to mount the Motion 4 speakers? Much appreciated! Thanks!

Do you actually mean Do-It-Yourself, or is DIY a brand? Which silver cabling and terminators did you use? Thanks!

Could you please clarify: what do you mean by "On the test bench the AQ King Cobras would look like a toy in comparison [to the BJC LC-1s]." For instance, this would seem to imply that you have some empirical data that is informing your conclusion. Or are you just expressing your opinion? I'm...

Hi, I've been using BJC LC-1 analog interconnects, but I recently discovered remarkable sonic improvement with the much more expensive AudioQuest King Cobra analog interconnect -- it was more accurate across the entire frequency spectrum, the bass was tighter, and I was actually hearing a...

My journey started a long long time ago... "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." -- Lao-tzu I took my first step with the realization that listening is a skill, and I'm still learning how to listen. Over time, I grew more confident in my ability to discern sonic details...

I am just an initiate on the path toward audio-video nirvana, but I am ever-mindful that my focus should always remain on the journey itself rather than the destination, lest the path should turn dark and become an all-consuming obsession. "Once you start down the dark path, forever shall it...

Actually, the Motion C is cheaper than the Motion 8 right now. Thank you all for your responses!

You are correct; my mistake. I incorrectly responded to your post rather than MixinSammy's, in which he wrote: These particular stands are the Sanus HTB3 stands (not to be confused with the EFSat stands), which the Sanus literature indicates is for speakers that weigh up to 4 pounds. So, I...

I'm thinking about buying a center channel and surrounds to complement my Motion 12s in the front. I've pretty much settled on getting the Motion 4s as my surrounds, but I wonder what the forum suggests regarding the center channel between the Motion 8 and the now discontinued Motion C. The...

I just upgraded from the Infinity Beta 50s to the Martin Logan 12s, so I think I can speak directly to this. I love my Infinity Beta 50s! Mated to a good amplifier, the sonic impact from the dual 8" woofers is tremendous. Overall. I think that these are some of the most balanced full-range...
