Raised Towers


This might be silly...but...has anyone messed with putting towers on a stand or table? What were your thoughts? How did it affect sound?

Depends. Do you do your listening while standing up?

Considering that tweeters are generally designed to be at or around ear height, no I haven't.

That being said, I have seriously considered elevating one of my subwoofers. Because they aren't directional, having one close to the ceiling or midway up a wall, might make for a more homogenous distribution of bass pressure throughout the room.

The tweeters have pretty good dispersion so that may not be an issure.

I'm wondering if raising them could make them seem more "spacious". 

I'm thinking about trying to kick the Magnepan habit...but then I listen to cones in boxes...they sound like cones in boxes. Trying to have my cake and...

I know there are other threads about putting them on spring isolated stands… for about $1500/speaker..

sheesh..

looking at some acoustic isolators for about $100 a speaker + platform materials as a diy project just to see if I hear any difference.. 

I need to make some anyway for a couple tube monos.  Just don’t know if I want to try a rubber (natural) base, spring isolator or suspension isolators..  

Just wish the weather would hurry and warm up.. shop is expensive to heat right now..
