Isolation solution for curved bottom floor standers?
I’m looking for an isolation solution for my Kef XQ5 floor speakers. I wanted the Gaia from Isoacoustic but they need to be at a 90 degree angle. Not only are the bottom of my speakers not flat, but the four spikes that come out are at an angle.
Is there an isolated platform I can put them on? Any other ideas? Thanks!

Maybe check with a KEF dealer. Looks like the XQ30 has a similar cabinet base with outriggers on the backside for more stability. If you’re looking for isolation maybe make some maple plinths and use the Gaia’s. On the plinths you’ll just need bolt inserts for the feet. Would be fairly easy to build. Check into Mapleshade for ideas. Will raise the tweeter 3-4” higher so it might change things more than you think, or you could recess the feet into the plinth a little too. https://shop.mapleshadestore.com/Speaker-Plinths_c_66.html |
Thanks guys. Those articulating feet look nice but I’m not sure they provide a whole lot of isolation do they? None. That's meant as a joke. Well okay maybe not meant, but is anyway. Seriously. Constantly amazed the lack of .... nevermind. Townshend Pods or Podiums are the most effective you can do. Put speakers right on them, turn knobs to level, done. Expensive but worth every penny in sound quality. If instead of good you want cheap, Nobsound springs are cheap and yet better than anything else but Townshend. Articulating feet. "Look nice". Good one. |
