A second on the Townshend Audio Seismic Podium. If the cost takes away your breathe, buying individual Pods and using them under a good platform (perhaps one layer of Baltic Birch plywood, one of Slate, with constrained layer damping---such as Acoustic Science Corp’s Wall Damp---between them) will make for a more affordable solution.
Isoacoustics don’t seem to work for me, help
I have ProAc D20R. I thought the Gaia’s would make a nice improvement. Problem is that I’m on carpet that is very thick and plush. Setting up the Gaia’s on the carpet they wobble all over the place, the direction of the logo is irrelevant. So I tried putting putting them on 3/4” solid bamboo boards. I was able to get them level but not with the logo’s pointing in the right direction so still wobbly. Problem with the boards and Gaia’s is it raised the speakers almost 3” and seemed to lighten the mid bass and midrange. Lost some body.
Lastly I tried the ISO cup spikes things no help the spike are only half an inch. My carpet is about an inch. So still wobbly. Spike cup things would work if the spikes were a inch long and not so conical.
At this point I’m going to put the ProAc spikes back in and consider what to do. If anyone has any bright ideas I’d like to hear them.
