The basic design of the Sistrum and newer Rhythm stands is a steel platform with downward facing brass Audiopoints connecting the platform to the floor and upward facing Audiopoints connecting the platform to the equipment. The position of the points can be adjusted by sliding along slots in the platform. Each Audiopoint sits on brass coupling discs. It looks like newer versions have beefed up the coupling discs and there are options for different sizes discs.
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.

@dmk_hifi The carpet spikes under Gaia footers should not be feared. Two person job, or a really smart dog helping. After footers are set, simply tilt back some and have the other person or dog place under the center of the footer. Repeat. |
