OK, my unfinished 15 x 18 x 2 Mable Shade maple speaker platforms arrived and I set them up using long brass cones coupling the platforms to the floor through the carpet. The speakers were coupled to the platforms using the speaker's built in brass spikes. The results were not subtle at all. In fact, the system was improved in all areas from top to bottom. All areas of resolution were improved as was the musicality. Voice is incredible. Plucked strings, decay, initial attack a all improved. I'll say with confidence: If you are not using Maple Shade platforms under your speakers, you haven't heard the best your system has to offer. $150.00 for two platforms plus shipping ... a bargain for this type of improvement. Next to come ... a 4" platform finished in rosewood with the heavy brass Mable Shade feet and Isoblocks for my turntable. Stay tuned.
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
