Hi Sam1000
For securing the speaker to a stand or just for your own personal usage (if you build a stand, or just want to secure the speaker to something). I have found it a convenient feature.Originally Posted by Sam1000
I would not use the threaded insert for supporting the entire weight of the cabinet.
Is it a possibility for the 200s, 170s, and 340s to recieve the same cabinet tretment as the Sierra? Perhaps as an option?
The plan right now is to keep the V-LAM cabinets as a higher end option. V-LAM production is S-L-O-W. The 200s, 170s and 340s would definitely benefit from the technology - but I am uncertain if the higher retail pricing would be appropriate.Originally Posted by jvillas
Of course anything is possible but we will have to evaluate the demand once the Sierra begins shipping.
Yeah...I know...just thinking ahead!Originally Posted by BradJudy
But with this info, I have to rethink how to mount them to the beam. I use the two threaded inserts on the CBM-170SE now....so that puts things off for a bit.Originally Posted by davef

If you go with the natural (which I would for the rears, otherwise be prepared for using a step ladder once a week to dust them off) -- use the threaded insert and then just use a wood screw for the other mounting hole. No way you will damage the cabinetOriginally Posted by curtis
what mounts do you use for doing this? i was thinking of doing the same thing when i move home in a couple days (they're going in the basement)Originally Posted by curtis

I don't know if I could bring myself to putting a screw into the cabinet...seriously.Originally Posted by davef

Understandable...Originally Posted by curtis
Since you have the 170 mounted without any angle, the force applied to the 1/4-20 insert is vertical so the cabinet absorbs all of it (no risk of the insert pulling free from the cabinet) For your method, the insert will support the speaker.
