Under my tower speakers -- Isoacoustics Gaia, other options?
I have Ascend towers (45lbs each) on a concrete floor covered in thin wall to wall with an area rug on top of that. I am looking into different footers for my speakers and am curious what people with towers on concrete have tried and liked.
To my mind, something as expensive as Townshend platforms do not seem worth it, as they'd cost about a third of the price of the speakers themselves.
If you've tried Gaia III isolators or other kinds of feet for your speakers, especially on concrete floors, I'm curious to hear your observations. Thanks.
If I see my 100lb speakers wiggle wildly it will be due to a problem far beyond what Max T is capable of resolving. As far as components are concerned, I pulled all isolation devices out. Concrete floor and solid component rack is all that is needed. |
Don’t waste your hard earned money. buy some racket balls, cut in half, put,speakers on them with slightly,larger fine grit sandpaper under the racket balls.off the,floor, and not like the bass will resonate concrete. Or tennis balls, or go to a home store and buy 2 cutting boards for the,speakers. Have my,amps 1 each on a very thick cutting board, which I threw 5 coats of cherry stain n them, they,look nice. Don’t drop that kind of money on snake oil.
Home Depot, get some large flat stone squares for the speakers, use normal cutting boards, nt inflated prices by some greedy snake oil douche.

Or get some 2” restaurant pads, ones that the,cooks stand on all day, spikes would sink in and never move. I used racketballs in my rack years ago, worked a charm, and your not getting taken advantage f by the eejits who say “use our modular half circle moon isodampening pads, they will make the music reach out and lightly stroke your ears and neck like a bunny fart.
