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.
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. |
