I have been having problems in my current residence-dealt with a lot of high freq energy and very limited bass response initially-wood floor with B&W 800D. Upgraded speaker cable to Valhalla from Valkeryie (sp?) and this made a surprising diff allowing speakers to be moved further out from wall and a little further apart-a significant increase in bass energy and response. I also reconfigured the way I was bi-wiring my speakers. Have been thinking of decoupling speakers from floor with Nordost Sort Fut. Have been able to obtain very little info on them but what I have heard is very positive. Like some of the Townsend Audio decoupling products but I do not believe they are available in Canada. Any help or info with the sort fut would be appreciated.
Footers under big heavy speakers (Stillpoints Ultra 5, Sistrum rack, Finite Elements,..?)
Revisiting isolation and coupling for my main system, I wonder if I would try better coupling devices than the large Symposium Svelte shelves (19"x24") I currently have under my Duntech Sovereign 2001s
with 21" w x 35" d wooden base, weighing 360lbs each, which in turn rests directly onto wooden floor. My room was pretty lively before the isolation/coupling and I need better coupling/draining of energy for the speakers.
What would you suggest?
I could try four Stillpoints Ultra 5 with base under each speaker or what I hope to be at least equally good and more economically is a pair of Sistrum rack platform (using AudioPoints 1.5) that measures 22.75"x 26.75" (I don't think their standard speaker stands can provide enough balance). I could buy a Sistrum SP-4 rack and use two platforms for my speakers. This would be budget wise the same if I would buy two Apprentice SP-SA-XL-4-1.5 (18"x24") as I am looking for a new rack for my second system (Home Theater).
Star Sound seems to be a very reputable company but earns less coverage than, e.g. Stillpoints.
The third and probably least talked about solution would be Finite Elements Cerabase but I find less buzz here on the Gon.
