Thanks Dave. KISS indeed - it is the least fussy and most elegant option.
It would seem most members have got tired of this saga and either don't bother looking or can#t be bothered to spend a minute to help me out. Oh well, such is life.

I know what you are getting at here but what about uneven floors ? A flat base would be more prone to wobble unless it was spiked. That's where three legs wins. My floors with carpet are flat I think but not exactly sure about that.
I believe my floor is flat. The stands have spikes which dig into small mats on a wooden floor. I posted a picture of the lay out on the speaker stand thread last month. I have had the stands for twenty years. I think mass was the in thing then and it still is with me. They are filled with sand.karatestu wrote: ↑Wed Nov 03, 2021 12:42 pmI know what you are getting at here but what about uneven floors ? A flat base would be more prone to wobble unless it was spiked.

I like the single wide upright especially as if its hollow then I can load it up with sand which may help eat some vibrations before it gets to the suspended floor.
It's the swings and roundabouts of compromise again
If wavelength at the frequency of interest (? 1kHz?) is much longer than the size of your sphere, it will pretty much flow out and around unimpeded. If it's near the same, you can expect diffraction in lots of directions. Either way the phase will not be altered.
The lobing depends strongly on your crossover.
