Mapleshade boards under speakers

Hi,
Anyone try these, either the finished or unfinished, 2 or 4", with isoblocks or brass feet?
My floors are soft yellow pine, and I've made overall improvements using a panel of birchply under them, wondering what the maple would do? He certainly makes great claims for them.

Thanks
Chas

I agree with the stone. I used a 1/2" slab of limestone with Herbies big fat dots. Big and cheap improvement over spikes onto carpeted pine. As Thorman found, tighter better defined base

I agree with the above..I tried maple w/brass under my Dynaudios on hardwood floors and hated it.Bought into the hype AGAIN!!!

oh oh, just on a whim I bought some of the mapleshade unfinished maple platforms, so I'll report back my impressions. I hope they don't suck! maybe I should have tried the cheaper granite first. we'll see...thanks!

Chashas1..If you find the maple isnt all its suppose to be like I did ....I went to a local headstone company and bought a left over scrap 1" thick slab for $15.00..it measured 4'-24"...Cut it myself using a circular saw w/diamond blade..cant get any cheaper than that...

I'm a big fan of maple platforms, the thicker the better. Deliver me from granite. Obviously YMMV :-)
