I'm currently using six of these (three per speaker) and they definitely tightened the bass. They also raise the tweeters by 2". https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075MMT68C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 For short money, it was worth the improvement. |
jayrossi: Thank you.........I had bookmarked that link months ago! Twas a Stereophile reviewer who recommended them! I have yet to get to room treatment, so in the short term, I may simply employ these (or something similar) and see (hear) what happens. Cheers, MC BTW: Add my name to the list of admirers of your system! |
@jayrossi13 , are you using these on Cornwall IVs? I thought Klipsch recommends keeping a full flat surface on the speakers. If you like them, regardless, I may try them. I used Subdude giant subwoofer isolation pads on my Forte IIIs. They are too small for the Cornwall IVs. I loved them, and wish I could find them in a larger size. |
@michaelc2020 I also heard about these isolation pads through Stereophile, I believe it was for the Volti Razz review. Thank you for the compliment on the system, I'm trying to keep it simple. @jbhiller I was using these with CW IV. I actually struggled with the CW IV placement to the point of almost giving up. These isolation pads really helped me and were a great low cost solution. I also have a more expensive Townshend seismic bar solution; more effective but also way more expensive. |
Gentlemen! I have succeeded in exhausting my little brain, what from too much thinking. So-I have pulled the trigger, put the pedal to the metal and made a decision! I have ordered some BXI Anti-vibration pads! Great reviews/cheap price.........what's not to like?! BTW: I am happy with the sound quality-I am curious to find out how much (if any) difference may result regarding shaking the house. :-) We shall see.......stay tuned.........and again-thank you ALL. |
Guys, FYI The larger Auralex Subdude does fit under the platform of the CWIV. It's left to right measurement "appears" to be about 1" shy of ideal--but when I looked at the CWIV bottom platform base, it is made of 3/4" plywood/MDF, which means you pick up 1.5" left to right. So, I have mine on these platforms now. |
I have been running CW IV's with the Dynamat dampening upgrade as well as the VCap Odum and Path Audio Resistors per Don Sachs suggestions. I love these speakers! I still find the bass to be just OK, plenty of it, just a bit flabby and undefined IMO. I have the CW's five feed out from front wall and have used a McIntosh MC275 VI as well as Pass Labs XA 25....augmented with four REL's, two front two rear. Even with all RELs off, same sort of presentation.....a bit flabby and undefined. Don't get me wrong....it's not bad, just could be better. Surprisingly, with more power, the McIntosh tube amp actually a bit better control of bass than the Pass. My question is, have any CW IV users experimented with the Townsend Isolation bars and gotten favorable results? and how do your results compare to no isolation? Thanks in advance! |
