Any thoughts on Salamander Synergy cabinets?

"Speakers should never be placed on isolation platforms of any type."

That's a strange comment mijostyn. They've been proven to be effective by many users including myself.

audiotroy,

Were you driving when you posted your answer? It looks that way.  

If correct around $3K is a lot to pay for any type of cabinet from Salamander. The top glass(?) shelf supports 150lbs?  What is the weight capacity of the inside shelves? What about air flow for your amp? IMO for $3k you can do better with much less assembly. There are numerous options new or used that have better quality and fit and finish.

Thanks for all the input!

I’m not planning to use it for a turntable. Just for power conditioners, DAC and computer audio components.

And the Townshend platforms would sit on the shelves, with the components on top of the Townshends. I have had good first-hand experience with Townshends for my amps and speakers actually.

So what I am really looking for is a solidly built and decent looking cabinet that will be good for isolation and provide a solid base for the Townshends. The Townshends will do the bulk of the isolation I believe. But I expect the cabinet also needs to be good at absorbing or moving down and out any residual energy.

@dayglow, what are the other options did you mean?

@Audiotroy, do the Synergy 323s only come with aluminum posts or can they be had with steel posts?

Thanks!
