Best vibration isolation for speakers on carpet?


Hi All,

 

So I am awaiting my new Revel Performa3 208's and I'm tired of the normal spikes that come with speakers. No matter what I do I can never seem to get them all level. My carpet is medium to a bit on the thicker side. Any help on carpet spikes or any other ideas on how to isolate the speaks but also so they'll finally be balanced? Granted it's not like any of my towers have ever been in danger of tipping over, but I've never been able to get them all level. 

 

My dealer said at 80lbs the Revel's should be fine on carpet without spikes but I want to get this right from the get go? Any help/advice is greatly appreciated-thank you!

Actually a good cabinet shouldn't be conducting sound in the first place, but anyway....Spikes are as effecient at sound conduction as other feet.  They are simply a contact allowing vibrations to pass.  Sonic conduction does not care that they look like a one-way arrow, it just cares if there is a connection - or not.  If you want no connection, then get no connection.  Place them on an air isolator.  Try out some tennis balls for starters.  See if you can tell the difference.
