Thanks Don. I'm happy to take credit for the design and installation, but a small engineering works in Gosport deserves the credit for the workmanship.
I must say, I was expecting these frames to be less well finished. The joints are completely invisible and the tube ends (where I was expecting to have to use plastic plugs as AG use in their uprights) were all welded over with small steel plates. The powder coating job was excellent too and almost identical to the AG paint.Total cost for the 2 F frames and 2 small angle brackets was GBP180. With the few other fittings readily available from Ebay, the total cost was about GBP215. That excludes the Gaia II feet (558 for 2 sets of 4) and the brackets for the feet (68 for 2 sets of 4), although the original M8 spikes could have been used instead of the Gaias if you don't like isolation from the floor.
About 2 hours per speaker work on my part to dismantle the Duos and install the new hardware was time well spent as the results have given these old speakers a fresh new look - and I can easily restore them to their original appearance if I ever wanted to sell them. This seems increasingly unlikely as they still sound better than anything else at twice their new cost! Peter
