Klipsch LaScala footers


Now that I believe I have my Klipsch LaScala AL5 speakers properly positioned, it's time that I deal with proper footers of some sort.  My current rubber furniture coasters with felt pads on the underside allowed me to position these heavy 200 lbs cabinets easily and without damaging the wood floor. These coasters were temporary and it's time to find proper footers.  I actually experimented with plastic coasters with a carpeted underside and they support my weight no problem (I'm 200 lbs). Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

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

“LaScala’s are asymmetric in their weight distribution as per their construction design…ie… all 4 corners are not even in weight.”

This is typical.  In most cases, the weight of the speaker drivers mounted to the more rigid front baffle distribute significantly heavier weight to the front footers.

"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?"

Yeah, I have no idea if the Gaia's help anything but they look cool and have to be oriented properly. Hm, level? Water rings do look cool on top of your speaker cabinets so your buddies can tell you're a party animal. Drink much?

Yeah, lobing is never an issue especially when the engineers went to extraordinary lengths to perfect the crossover and each driver's position on the front baffle.

Bet you go into an endless dissertation on the subject since I brought it up, ha Bill? Sure, you'll set us straight.

Ment Richard, you're all like clones of one another, hard to differentiate.

The speakers in question are horn loaded for every driver - treble, midrange and bass.  The drivers are not positioned on the front baffle.  The bass drivers fire into a labyrinth before reaching their horn which does not even have a front baffle. These speakers are not designed for precision time-alignment but are designed for high efficiency to emulate the volume of a live performance.
