Looking for speaker base suggestions

Congrats on the awesome speakers! Look nice and sound even better.

I would not worry about isolation - a shag carpet is about as dead acoustically as it gets.

If you prefer the aesthetics of raising further the speakers then ask ATC if they can get you longer spikes.

Honestly a wood block or stone tiles is going to look real Mickey Mouse - like a student in college with speakers on books in their dorm rather than an owner of some of the finest sounding speakers anywhere.

Dear highstream, you have one hell of a great set of speakers there, we just became ATC dealers and their speakers are fantastic!

From everything I hear the Isoacoustics products are getting raves that they decouple the speakers from the floor and provide an tilt feature. 

Check them out.

Thanks shadorne. Given what you said, do you think I should just skip the spikes? They’re hell to move around. I put a set in one speaker and am going to take them out, at least until I spot the final locations.

Troy, good choice in taking on ATC, although unfortunately the markup in the U.S. is considerable and the color choices limited to just one last I checked. The Isoacoustics are great, as the Quad 12L actives on my desktop can attest, but 4" is the minimum height on the modular series. The optimum height for the 19A’s is ears between the two drivers. In my situation, 4" would take them up too high and tilt would be inappropriate and not very attractive (in their cautiousness, the European Council required ATC to put that 14" cross piece on the bottom front of the 19A’s to prevent them from tipping forward too easily).

I use the  Auralex subwoofer platforms bought them from Amazon and they work great and look nice at a good price.

Auralex is very effective in decoupling my pair of 15" subs from the floor.
