Out of sheer practicality, I decided to buy dollies to place under my Klipsch Lascalas. At 175 lbs. each moving them conveniently was impossible. However, the sizes of dollies were less than ideal and seeing how simple they were, I decided to build my own. It all worked out great. I placed 8 isolation pads between the dollies and the bottom of speaker. They are virtually unseen and now I can shift the angle and position of speakers with one finger. But this is where it gets interesting. The enhanced clarity of both mids and treble was shocking. Even so. my situation is unusual due to my floor being so unstable. Did the same with component rack with less improvements but still noticeable in upper frequencies. Very much worth the effort.
Any racks that use coasters/ wheels ?
I know salamander does racks with coasters but are there any others?
Never understood why people don't like coasters for the racks. It's impossible to move a rack after being populated with components without major effort. Not sure the isolation value is all that meaningful, ie. Not using coasters. Unless you got a turntable

Clearly racks are not designed for usability by most people. Once you put them someplace they pretty much have to stay there. Mobility is lost. Why don't rack manufacturers do a better job here. I wanna stack two Mono blocks but there is no rack that is sold with coasters. The rack is too small, etc. A wonderful market opportunity that no one takes an interest in. |
