I keep tweaking the position of my new F's slightly and playing a bit with other cheap tweaks. Now using two 18" square 2" thick concrete pads under each. The bottom pads have plastic/teflon coated furniture sliders under each corner and i have pieces of dense foam pipe insulation cut into rectangle and placed between the pads for isolation. Mine came with the original stands - which elevate the speakers about an extra 14". I was still concerned about the little round metal buttons under each corner of the stands so I put some small double up pieces if Dynamat under each corner - between the stands and the top pad. There was a bit of tightening in the bass but it got markedly when I stapled R-19 fiberglass insulation into the three basement ceiling joist spaces that are under the front end of the living room - where the speakers are located. I think the only remaining tweak will be some homemade tube traps or other room treatments.
Listened to Maiden Voyage on a out on loan from the library. Holy crap... that was recorded in 1964? The Verve engineers sure knew their stuff. it sounds as real and live as anything I've ever heard on speakers. I also dug out my copy of Joe Byrd and the Field Hippies album "American Metaphysical Circus." The opening track, Sub-Sylvanian Litanies, is by far the trippiest piece of music I have ever heard. It swirls and goes out beyond the edge of the speakers in a way that nothing else has - even more so than "And the Gods Made Love" from Electric Ladyland. I am just loving these speakers more every day and listening to more music of more genres than I have in years. Kudos to Bill LeGall for a phenomenal rebuild on these. I have the impression that he no longer rebuilds F's - and I feel blessed that I was lucky enough to get a pair that he did.
