Amp on SRA Ohio XL.. still use additional footers?

I take it you didn't ask Kevin about this. The bases are specifically made to eliminate the use of footers, cones, pucks etc. So, if you do use them, you will be compromising the design and purpose. Now, this isn't to say you may not ever like the "sound" better using a footer as a tuning device (not likely but possible), but what it does mean is that you may not like your component when the sonic effects of the resonance have been eliminated.

Of course if you have the puck/cones, you can always try it both ways, but in my experiences (and I own 4 isoBASES) you really don't need them.

Thanks Fmpnd

I actually haven't talked with Kevin, I'd been emailing back and forth with Tim getting photos, specs and pricing on a Craz rack before deciding to start with the Ohio XL under the amp. It never even occurred to me to ask about footers till yesterday when I swapped all my polycrystal cones for Herbie's tenderfeet.

Which it's good if I don't really need them.... that means I can transfer them to my HT system. :)

Adhaney,

Tim is great, but talk to Kevin just for the experience. He will have a conniption fit if you use any other devices with an Ohio. You are in for a real treat when you get your Ayre on an Ohio set up for it.

Thanks Ed..

I can't wait to get it! *excited*

Adhaney,

You made a good choice....I have 2 Ohio XL+ under my Monoblocks and they took away boominess and tighten up the sound (more focused). You will hear this difference when you play you music a little louder...

Also, you may have to reposition you speakers to optimise the sound staging, focus, etc....

Congratulations!!
