She’ll be right mate.

Thank you very much, @celtic66 !

Hello.

What are your impressions of the Meridian 857? 

Curious also to know what speakers you are using and brand/model amp you replaced?

Thanks.

Hello, @tzordich ,

The amplifier is still warming up, so, it's hard to be completely adequate. But so far, I can see much more details and effortlessness.

I used to drive my old good Arcam Delta 290, which is now working as a pre-amp. Not the best option, but still.

Speakers are Dynaudio Confidence 30. With this combination, my only complain is not enough bass. Maybe I do need to get a subwoofer. Confidence 30 are great speakers, which have everything but a strong bass.

Long story short: I think that Meridian 857 is a great option, It's made very well without cutting edges.

These look nice and this company does all their own in-house woodwork, sheet metal, and machining. Yes, a bit pricey but excellent quality. I have a set of their speakers and would love these feet for my components if I could afford them.

Of course, there are cheaper products but...

Hi @easystreamer , thanks for the suggestion. Well, if we were talking about a high-end turntable, this would make sense, but spending almost $2000 for a set of feet for an amplifier is unreasonable. By the way, the producer positions these feet as feet for turntable.

I already ordered a set of original feet for Meridian 857. I think that Meridian's Engineers know what they do and what's an adequate solution.

Once again, thank you very much for the advise.

@atovstolis that pricing was for a set of four, not each. I would never suggest $2k for feet LOL! But they support up to 120 lbs, so whether a turntable or amp, they perform a similar function. Glad you got your feet squared away.

Hi @easystreamer, my bad,,, I thought this was the price for one, Then this is another matter. Still expensive, but doesn't look totally off.

By the way, I still didn't get a quote from Meridian, so I might consider either IsoAcoustics or FernAndRoby.

Thank you very much!

Oh, another footer solution I have used in the past for speakers and components is from Eden Sound Audio (https://edensoundaudio.com/shop/category/terrastone-footers/terracone/).

If your Meridian has threaded holes on the bottom plate, you can get proper threaded posts to make a perfect OEM-type install. Eden Sound will work with you to figure out which threaded post you need. Anyway, another good solution, albeit maybe pricey too.

Thank you very much @easystreamer ! These seem to be a great option too.
