I have pair of 9' transmission line subwoofers, on top of which are my satellite speakers (Rogers LS3/5a copies). These are home built using Kef drivers for the satellites with a Falcon Electronics xover (copy of the Rogers xover). The subwoofers use a 10" Audax driver. But this isn't intended to be a detailed description of my speaker system... Would tiptoes or the equivalent be an advantage here? Would there be any effect above my xover frequency (between subwoofer and satellites)? Are tiptoes most effective for n-way driver speaker systems all in one cabinet? I ask a lot of questions, and I'm not even from New Jerseyr. Thanks for any opinions. Marc mcnc!dvamc!ms

I have been reading in this newsgroup and elsewhere about the virtues
of tiptoes. I can understand how these devices can improve the sound
of speakers and turntables .. maybe even tube electronics. But how in
the world do they improve the sound of solid-state components? Are
transistors sensitive to vibrations? Assuming that there are no cold
solder joints on the PCB, I fail to see how these devices can affect
sound quality in any meaningful way.
