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!

Mapleshade makes brass cones especially for carpet...

You could use 3 spikes instead of 4.  Use 2 stock ones on the speaker and buy one aftermarket cone of the same size and use a spot of Blu Tak to hold it on the center of the opposite side.  That will keep everything level, assuming your floor is level.

Hi All,

 

First off thank you all so very much for all the great replies! Sounds like the Townshend Podiums would be the way to go. Unfortunately I can't afford the cost otherwise I'd do it :(. In addition to the 208's I also bought the 208C and a pair of M105's. 

 

The Gaia's look great, however I don't love the height they add to what are already large speakers-they look a bit obtrusive. And though my wife is always supportive aesthetics are important to her (me as well actually).

 

The Symposium Super platforms are iintriguing...as is the idea of a concrete slab...Lost of great choices here. Once again thank you All so much for taking the time to respond and help!😀

+1 on Townshend bars. They helped my Belle Klipsch speakers come to life. Bass tightened up, highs more precise.
