Interesting idea about using concave/convex shaping on the pillars. I'm starting to want to try and make my own just for the fun of it.

Each magnetic foot needs to be an 8 magnet configuration where 4 magnets on the bottom form a concave bed and the top 4 a convex counterpart (or other way around) this would form a naturally self stabilizing magnetic cushion.

That keeps the top from sliding off/away by limiting the movement to the vertical axis only. Notice the two guide rods at the half way point on each side.

Because those magnets wouldn't hold it there. It should have side bars preventing moving. I was thinking the same thing mcman, one little bump and send that baby into a wall.

I have my speaker on the styrofoam box it was sold in to eliminate vibration. This is actually very smart. I have my speaker on the styrofoam box it was sold in to eliminate vibration.
