I have vandersteen quatros which are a big heavy speaker. I had leveling issues and bass control issues. Started out with the gaia with speaker discs. Midrange was magical but bass still to heavy and still hard to level. I called Richard vandersteen and he told me to get some granite surface plates. They're 3 inches thick and 18x24 or so. They weight an absolute ton but when I put them down they flattened the carpet and made it easy to level the speakers. The speakers are still on the Gaia but are now much more functionally isolated from the floor. Sound is amazing. Looks pretty cool too
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!
