Craigsttaa Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 (edited) I have Klipsch Quartet speakers aligned horizontally on a shelf in my family room (see photo). In this configuration, there are 4 screw holes where the risers used to be attached. I am concerned that the cabinet is no longer air-tight, and may be affecting the bass or otherwise. The speakers sound great; I just want to optimize. 1. Should I bother plugging the screw holes? 2. If so, what is the best way to plug? I envision having these quartets in place for a long time. So a permanent plug is okay, but you never know if there is a temporary solution should I decide I want to re-attach the risers as some point. Since the Quartets are horizontal, the plugs will be slightly visible. So I'm also looking for a aesthetically pleasing solution. Thanks in advance for the advice!

Good enough and reversible? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigsttaa Posted August 22, 2023 Author Share Posted August 22, 2023 Yes, I guess putting back the screws would be the easiest. I was originally worried they wouldn't look great, but I guess it is pretty easy to spray paint them brown and they will blend well enough with the wood veneer. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Either way, if seen, they look like serving a purpose, which they are. Bet they sound good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
