Speaker Isolation tweaks ?


Hi everyone,

I want to tweak my bookshelf speaker(Revival Atalante 3) isolation.So my speakers have small isolation feet attached to the speaker, which in turn just rests on top of my speaker stand. So technically not attached to the speaker stand. These are sand filled stands with adjustable spikes, resting on a hardwood floor. I currently use dimes underneath the spikes to prevent holes in my hardwood floors. So would something like the IsoAcoustics Gaia isolators work, by replacing my existing spikes with the Gaia isolators ? seems these are to be attached to floor standing speakers. If so, the Gaia iii is for speakers less then 40 lbs, but do you include the speaker stands ?

I kind of want to stay away from adhesives. Don't want to stain or mark up my speakers.

Anyway maybe people can share their thoughts on how they approach speaker isolation  with bookshelf speakers on stands.

Cheers

I use Nobsound springs between my Spendor SP2/2 and the top of stands (cheap and effective - opens up soundstage and increases detail and dimensionality) or these get solid reviews: Seismic Isolation Pods (not so cheap!)

Herbies Audio Lab Threaded Stud Gliders to replace the spikes and dimes. Great on hardwood floors.

IsoAcoustics Iso pucks sound like a fine idea.  There are lower cost alternatives but they should accomplish what you're looking for.  Maybe find a place where you could return the pucks if you don't get the improvement that you're hoping for?  Then you have a free demo.
