Mark, oh, yes, in the first pic I can make out the marble. I wasn't expecting that color base on the stand. I looked at the middle pic and it's neigh unto impossible to see the marble bases. It really is a perfect match with the carpeting, and it seems the can lights hit at the perfect angle to obscure them. Very unusual, but as you say, cool looking.

My guess is that these won't be the last speakers we see in that spot. Just a hunch. :)

Mark, Allow me to be among the first to commend you on your fine accomplishment! Kudos!

Looks like you thought things through thoroughly (ha, alliteration!)

Curious, what's the story with the stands for the Usher main speakers? Looks like they are mounted to the floor? I do not see a traditional stand but a "post" rising from the floor. Did you embed the post in the floor? What if you want to change mains at some point; is the post easily removed without damage to carpeting? I'm curious about your thought process in the development of the final outcome.

Enjoy!
