Speaker vibration control device
I have a set of Monitor Audio Gold 300 speakers (59 lbs) and I'm interested in vibration control. But there are so many products out there where do I begin? First off my speakers sit on carpet in my living room (sub-floor is wood). I have rambunctious grandchildren who visit every 3rd weekend and when they do, I slide my speakers closer to the front wall to be out of harms way. When the kids aren't here I slide the speakers back out to their optimal listening position. Any recommendations for vibration control under these (mobile) circumstances? I've looked at Stillpoints but their cost is all but prohibitive. Also looked at IsoAcoustics and the need for carpet spikes was not appealing. I ran across Townshend Audio's seismic platforms and I think I'd like them. Anyone familiar with this product? How has it improved the sound of your speakers? MA Gold owners what vibration control product do you use and how does it improve the SQ of your speakers?

mewsickbuff, to be clear, when you say "vibration control", you're referring to what transfers to the floor, correct? Clay ceramic pads under the speakers will virtually eliminate anything to the floor. 2" thick patio stones cut to size with a rubber mat on both sides is really all it takes. But it has to be clay ceramic like bricks and flower pots. It simply will not vibrate at low frequency. |

Too bad Tekna Sonic went belly up many years ago ‘cause their dampers were the ticket for speaker cabinet vibration. The very frequencies of subs present perhaps a worse problem. Of course there are solutions to these sorts of problems. Which reminds me, anyone ever notice how raucous and irritating the dust cap is on woofers? That can’t be good. |
This Guy does beautiful work. He just made me 2 iso platforms with hand turned maple spikes. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9b7f9-custom-wood-racks-stands-3-shelf-maple-walnut-cabinets-ra...

Thanks for all the input. There are lots of beautiful, affordable things out there if one knows where to look. Decided to go with these: http://www.isoacoustics.com/products/gaia-series/gaia-ii/ After digging a little deeper I see these will work with the platforms I already have that allow me to keep the speakers stable and move them when the grand kids visit. |
