Best vibration isolation for speakers on carpet?


Hi All,

 

So I am awaiting my new Revel Performa3 208's and I'm tired of the normal spikes that come with speakers. No matter what I do I can never seem to get them all level. My carpet is medium to a bit on the thicker side. Any help on carpet spikes or any other ideas on how to isolate the speaks but also so they'll finally be balanced? Granted it's not like any of my towers have ever been in danger of tipping over, but I've never been able to get them all level. 

 

My dealer said at 80lbs the Revel's should be fine on carpet without spikes but I want to get this right from the get go? Any help/advice is greatly appreciated-thank you!

I tend to agree with your dealer. Or you could use Herbie’s glides. I use them for speakers on carpet over uneven floor, and find them sounding as good as spikes and much easier to deal with.

P.S. I previously had Revel Ultima Studios and used the spike covers on them. I tried the spikes for a while, but I heard no difference and found the spikes a nuisance.

If you are adventurous try Townshend Seismic Bars.

Less money, more work to set up (especially on carpet), same results.

Not too hard to adjust tilt to maximize the elevation of the listening perch and the acoustics of the room.
