Isolation Platform to Raise & Isolate Loudspeakers
Hello All!
Today I purchased a couple of Auralex Subdude isolation platforms for my Klipsch Forte IIIs. I own a smaller one for my REL T9i and it works wonderfully.
The designer of the Forte IIIs has stated in an interview (I think) that the Fortes could benefit from being raised off the floor, but I also read (somewhere) that using spikes or something that does not cover the entire base of the speaker can create coupling/decoupling issues. Who knows?
At any rate, these will raise the speakers a mere 1.75". I do, however, know that the Subdude is wonderful with a subwoofer as I have used it to great results.
Does anyone have any experience with this issue/situation? I'll certainly report back on whether there is an improvement. Currently my Fortes are sitting on a suspended oak hardwood floor.
