Klipsch LaScala footers

@richardbrand you make a lot of sense.  I guess I was wondering if the cabinets need to be sitting directly on the floor. And while I'm worried about damaging the floor I'm also wondering if I'm doing these spkrs a disservice by placing them on these flimsy furniture sliders. As of today I'm now using rigid furniture sliders with a carpeted underside which seem to work well as the cabinets aren't wobbly.

Large Klipsch’s usually have those shiny little metal things forced into the corners of the risers like my Heresy IVs and my Cornwall IVs. Really all you need to worry about is whether the speakers are level and towed in properly. You can use a bubble level like the one for your turntable or the one you have in your toolbox.

I made footers by visiting our local Economy Hardware and purchasing some PVC end caps used to terminate runs of plumbing along with some sticky felt pads to prevent damage to the footers and disguised the PVC’s tan color with some strips of black electrical tape all in an effort to compensate for the thickness of the carpet and the overhang on the hardwood floor when the speakers are positioned properly. See the result below. As far as fancy footers go probably a waste of money unless you’re just doing it for the bling. If you can't make out the bubble level image you can expand it with your thumb and forefinger if you're using an LCD display.

Iso acoustics Gaia 2s. They sound fabulous although since they came with my speakers (an upgrade to a pair of Pure Audio Project Duet 15 Horn 1s) I have no idea if they help anything...they do look cool and need to be oriented properly. Also there is absolutely NO reason to have speakers perfectly level, although stable is important (so your drink doesn't fall off)...do people think sound has edges?

myself…( or Mr. P.W.K. were he present ) don’t think spending big money on “boutique solutions” will render any large sound quality gains other than isolation/decoupling/damping as discussed.

another consideration is that LaScala’s are asymmetric in their weight distribution as per their construction design…ie… all 4 corners are not even in weight.

do people think sound has edges

Sound certainly diffracts around edges ...

... and I agree that there is no need to level speakers like La Scalas provided they do not rock on their footings
