Rel Does Not Recomment Isolation Stands

This came as a surprise. I had just assumed that it should be isolated. Then I discover I was wrong. after doing some research for isolation for mine.  Even though I am NOT electronics engineer I think this is an interesting subjet idea. Pardon my utter ignorance. I should have known there was an opposing view. Always is. Just didn't think of it

This doesnt surprise me one bit. In just about every situation, especially involving speakers, it is a question of what is be done with the energy. At first glance it would seem to me that you should drain this energy, but some disagree.

Lifting speakers off the floor, subs or floorstanders, will alter the frequency response as heard at the listening position. I think of this whenever I read a post where in someone praises the practice of placing things under speakers for isolation, etc, and wonder how much of the change is due merely to the elevation, albeit small yet extant. FWIW.

REL is wrong plain and simple, They will put 12 coats of lacquer but won't cop for a set of 10.00 springs in bulk... Cracks me up.. BLING and glitter sells. What actually works you have to train people about.. Nothing changes..

I like both or course, Bling and Springs.. LOL

As far as raising the speaker yes it can be an issue, I'm actually dealing with a tweeter that use to burn a hole in you. By raising the speaker 1" and turning the tweeter 90 degrees, I was amazed.. Things just worked.. 

Engineer, NO! Mechanic YES..
