Sonus Faber Guarneri - will any aiddtional isolation be beneficial?


Hello, couple month ago I bought new Sonus Faber Guarneri Evolution speakers with their matching stands. They reside on a hard flood floors. Did anybody tried and got effective results by adding additional isolation under SF Guarneri granite bases? The granite bases have small rubber footers at the corners. Is that possible to remove them so granite bases can be directly attached/coupled to the something like symposium svelte shelves?

Thank you for your help.

Denon 1, I think the G’s benefit from a couple of things. Like most speakers they are best when away from the back and side walls. As to isolating the marble bases, well i think that this may be desirable on a suspended floor, but not so much on a harder/non-suspended floor...or carpet. I have thought about adding an isolation base-- not under the stands, but between the stands and the speakers. This might prove to be beneficial....but it could also introduce problems. The biggest issue I would see would be that the speaker is now raised too high off the ground and the seating position therefore would typically be too low. Is there a reason why you are not happy with your current set-up?
