I use a Planar 3 on an old-style Sound Organization floor rack. I did use a sandbox type platform on the rack for a while, and it did some good. I tried out a Neuance platform and liked that a lot, so I've stuck with that. Never tried a maple base, so I can't compare. The Planar 3 is on its original feet; sometimes I switch in Mapleshade Triplepoint brass feet. They're different; I like it both ways.
A bright top end was not one of my concerns, though. I was looking for more detail, top and bottom, and a more open midrange. Best of luck!
