Yeah, they are really expensive, especially considering that you can get the speakers for about $2k here on Audiogon. If it's just a matter of tilting the speakers back a bit more, they aren't worth it! I'm more interested in whether replacing the skinny MDF bases and metal cones with more substantial pieces of maple and the huge Mapleshade footers really does anything subtantial for the sitting listener. As my speakers are now, the skinny MDF bases vibrate A LOT while the speakers are playing.
Anyone using Mapleshade bases for Gallo Ref 3's?
Hi everyone,
Mapleshade offers larger maple bases with brass footers to replace the skinny stock bases that come with the Gallo Reference 3's...
They claim: "More rock-solid bass, extra midrange warmth and detail, new treble clarity. And the extra tiltback corrects the Reference 3's time alignment and gives standing listeners much better treble and imaging."
I was just curious if anyone has experience using these bases with their Gallos? I would love to know if they are a worthwhile upgrade.
Thanks in advance!
Tomer
