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!

Get longer spikes. There are several aftermarket spikes that should do the trick. I tried a number of isolation devices and found that spikes were really the way to go for my rig. They brought everything into sharp focus. Check out SoundCity. They have some great outriggers and long 2" spikes.

The very best I have found is the Townshend Podiums. You will be impressed and amazed that your speakers can sound so good!

I had a pair of Revel F32 speakers using the spike feet combo that comes with the speakers. I bought 3rd party outriggers to replace the spike feet. Positive major difference for speaker stability. Bass clarity and detail improved as well though it was a minor improvement compared to speaker stability.
