I just bought a couple maple plinths for under the 802Dis... I'm going to put the spikes on the speakers and then get them up on the plinths.
Now to compensate with spikes and wood (ie not good).... WKHanna is making me machined Aluminum discs with small divots in them for the spike to self center. This will protect the 2" thick Maple from getting marked up and from loosing the benefits of putting them up on there.
Now I know I have to lay the speaker down, put the spikes on and stand it back up. But lifting the speakers, I'm figuring, is going to be a three man job, 2 to lift and one to guide/place the discs.
I'm figuring that I'll use the felt covers they were wrapped in during the whole transpiration process, but I"m thinking that two people lifting the speaker from the base is somewhat back breaking work while trying to properly align the spikes.
Anyone have some good ideas on how best to make the speakers float in mid air while it's all getting done?! I wish I had those moving arms they have during the build process to just move them all around. ha ha!
