Which cone's or platforms have helped?

Bob, Two competing theories- dampening vs resonance transfer.Besides believing in one and not the other, a person should not mix the two. If you do mix the two you have no reference point for either one. Yes when I removed all rubber from the bottoms of my equipment and used only the Audio Points or Sistrum Platforms it all got much better again. Quicker, quieter, lower noise, improved dynamics and focus. Less dampening brings you closer to the real thing. Let us all know...Tom

Like I said (thanks audiotweak) 30 posts ago. Cones under everything. You want to transfer resonance, not absorb. Your ears will love it. You don't mixed the two, like the tweakman said. Make a comittment to do one, listen, then do the other. Your ears will know the deal. It's a wild out there. Some transfer, some absorb. I'm a tansferer, and very happy for it..

Orchard Bay are made in Orchard Bay Washington and avalible only through A Sanctuary of Sound. Check this site under "Showcase Dealers". These cones come in a variety of sizes and material and are used as standard equipment on Talon speakers.

Well, Tennispro? You started (thread) this baby. Got enough? I certainly have. You got a lot of good stuff to make a good sonic decision. Let's put this baby to bed guys..

Jadem6, Not necessarily. Russian subs were and are louder because of less advanced propulsor designs. Furthermore most subs built in the last 20 years have special anechoic coatings on the hull. Modern sub designs also go to extreme measures to dampen the vibration of all machinery internally.
