I bought the Granite for the base for my ....

I've had terrible results with granite as a base for HI-Fi equipment but if you must have it, the best thing to buy is a machinist base, designed for a tool maker / machine shop.

These cost a fraction of what similar materials sell for in the funeral business and audio business.

Here is an example of a precision machine base that's 9"X12" and weighs nearly 60 pounds, yet sells for only $22.00 because it's intended for tool rooms.

I went through this nearly 10 years ago, hope you have better results with stone than I did.

I will let you know Al.

Get "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World"

I don't even have a subwoofer, and my wife and son had to duck so the cannon balls wouldn't hit us.

Great movie too. Russell Crowe was outstanding.

After a week of listening, I cannot tell the difference between the carpet or the Granite. However, the Black 20x20 piece of Granite looks great under the Seismic 12. That Sub can knock the fillings out of my mouth. Very happy with the whole Paradigm set up.

King Kong is fantastic with the sub on Granite.
Receiver is a Yamaha RXV 2500. THX sounds great with the Paradigms.
