[QUOTE="user 1447, post: 67868, member: 1447"] 1) that price should be about right for the banana plugs - the TEAC ones go for R20 for the 4 but those are really cheap quality - and generally the AR ones that i use are around 100 bucks a set - so these seem about par for the course 2) about the sand - you can use any sand you like - but dont just place the sand into the naked enclosure - what you should do is get some of those plastic bin bags - double a set of those and place them into the enclosure - then start filling those with the sand - then when you are around quarter way fill - just shake the enclosure around till it settles at the bottom and the bags start to take the shape of the enclosure - then continue filling - when you have as much weight as you want then just tie up a knot onto the remaining plastic and voila it doesnt matter what sand you use - and to add weight you could also add some heavy pebbles or stones into the sand as well 3) for the feet speak to Ian (Jimgore) and get some spikes from him - if i recall correctly he is doing some spikes at R25 each so it will land up being 100 bucks per speaker if you use 4 spikes per speaker - these will be the best for decoupling purposes IMHO [/QUOTE]
