Thank you very much, @celtic66 !
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, @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. https://www.fernandroby.com/products/p/isolation-feet#reviews 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. |
