I'm curious why you feel the need for isolation. Any type of flexible feet will allow the monitors to move about. My experience with monitors is that the more rigidly they are held in place the better they sound.
Isolation feet for monitors
I need to isolate my Linn Katan monitors from the bookshelves that they currently sitting on.

I have placed a 12”x12” slab of granite between the speakers and the shelves for mass, but now need some sort of isolation footing to separate the speaker from the granite.
A cheap solution would be to insert some neoprene pads beneath the monitors. Has anyone tried this?
Another option would be isolation feet or spikes. Are there any cost effective suggestions for feet?
Thanks

The isolation is to stop the speakers and book shelves resonating together - the shelves are very light and thin so i sometimes hear a tze, tze at high volumnes. So perhaps weather stripping between the speakers and granite bases will help to bind the speakers to a massive base and then some neoprene between the granite and shelves will help to stop the shelves resonating at higher volumnes. I will give it a try |
Timken bearings with small DH Cones You might not need the DH Cones with your granite. This setup will cost you $80 to $120, depending on the cones, but would probably sound incredible. |
