Optimal Feet for Meridian 857 RM


Hi Fellow Audiophiles,

I recently got Meridian 857 RM power amplifier. This is a rack-mount version of the Reference Two Channel Power Amplifier 857.

The problem is that the RM version has no feet and I don't want to get a rack for it.

There are no functional differences between RM and Standard version except the feet, which are absent in the RM.

May I ask your advise on which feet to use? The amplifier weight is 35 kg (78 lb).

Thank you in advance.

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...
