Vibrapods under speakers

There was an article couple years ago about this at soundstage.com where Greg Weaver and another reviewer replaced the black diamond racing cones on their Von Schweikert speakers with vibrapods and were amazed at the difference in sound. May still be in archives there.

I've had vibrapods under equipment for almost 2 years, but never tried them under speakers until about a month ago. I have monitor speakers sat on heavy target stands, and had always used spikes between stands and speakers, thinking that was best.
I've been looking to buy new speakers for a while, as I wanted better soundstage and imaging.
I tried the vibrapods about a month ago and wow! I've messed around with these speakers for 5 years thinking there was something missing with the sound. The vibrapods have uncovered that 'something missing'. The speakers now sound incredible and image like crazy. I know it won't work in all setups, but for $36 its well worth a try. Yes I use 3 under each speaker which works better than 4 for some reason.
Highly recommended.

Carl my stand mounted small 2 way speakers, which have single 6" bass also responded very positively as you indicate. The most noticeable for me was increased bass
response, which is lacking in small 2 way speakers, was
much improved. I placed the vibrapods between speaker and
stand, not between stand and floor. Vibrapods should directly contact item to be decoupled. Worth a try definitely.

Like others have said, they are an incredible improvement, and at only 6 bucks each! I use 6 #5's under Maggie 1.6's metal rails. They improve detail, transients--listen to how natural guitar music sounds. Only concern I have is that even the hardest #5 pod seems to get squished over time, losing its capabilities. Supposedly you can heat them, but I dunno. Ah, they're cheap, get a new set annually.

This is an interesting thread, and I'm surprised the topic hasn't been discussed before (to my knowledge). The main speakers in my system are Vandersteen 3A Signatures, which are capable of clean response down to about 26-28 Hz. The floor of my living is medium carpet over wood, and sits above a 3-foot crawl space. I was concerned about the amount of bass resonance, so I decided to mount each speaker on top of piece of MDF that had been a sheet of DexDamp on the underside (a resonance control material similar to DynaMat). I removed the spike feet from the speakers and used 6 Vibrapods between the speaker and the MDF panel. I found that it substantially reduced the speakers of their warmth, and seemed to shift the tonal balance toward the middle frequences. Several good audiophile friends confirmed the same thing, and they thought the change was definitely NOT for the better. So, I went back to the original setup and was much happier. This proved to be an interesting experiment, however, because it showed me that decoupling a speaker from the floor is not always a good thing to do. It may be significant that the Vandy speakers use a Sound Anchor stand that has 3 spike feet, and they sound much better when properly coupled to the floor. Of course, your ProAc's may react differently.
