Non scientific testing made it seem the boxes not being centered broke up the sound a bit more. Solid furniture or the floor works better than a library style table too.
    sounds like a large workshop, my workshop is just 11' x 7' inside! The tumbler is bolted to the wall - a mistake as it amplifies the vibration, but I have no more room!

    Yes, is somewhat larger...but not more pleasant, inspiring, and often less productive. Certainly not more convenient! It did however cost less than renting equal square footage in Southern California. Result of purchase/ having ownership/ instant equity was just over 6 years at 2005 rates; could easily be 4 or less now. Plus, out of the liberal nonsense.
    Sincerely,
