Stringreen,
Respectfully, from what I understand about how they work, I can't see why they would be more or less effective on those two different types of floor. I wonder if you or others hear could weigh in with details about why this might be so.
Thanks, John |

stringreen,
Just to be clear, are you using Vandersteen's recommended bases at this time? If not, and he's recommending three point support, I would say look into the Starsound support platforms. They were a miracle for my floorstanders and others too. If I understand correctly, it is more of a sophisticated energy drain from the vibrations of the speaker cabinets, and it's not a subtle difference. It makes the speakers disappear. |
Hi Charles,
I don't think that I knew that you were using the Starsound platforms beneath your Coincidents. How long has it been? |
Charles, That’s great. They’re really amazing. I don’t know if you’re aware of these, but a couple of years ago, Robert suggested that I night add the APCD4-Inverts between the upward facing cones and the speaker bottoms. I got them, and it not only improves the effect, but it prevents further damage to the speaker bottoms and makes small placement adjustments so easy. John Audio Points™ by Star Sound Technologies |
Everything distorts richopp...just in a different way. |
grannyring,
I agree with your assessment of the performance of the Sistrum platforms which I also use. I would be curious to hear the Townshend platforms, but right now, that's a bridge too far. I do still thing that the Sistrums are pretty amazing. |
Silly comments clearthinker, but I think you know that. |
The Sistrum supports in my system did two things that were easy to hear immediately, Focus of individual voices and instruments, which I thought was already very good improved noticeably. The other great improvement was, as Charles and tvad noted, the speakers disappear as sources of sound. My speakers are big boxes like yours Charles, although they're a lot wider, so that was quite a feat. |
+1 Charles and Grannyring.
holmz,
I had a pair of Sound Anchors stands on my Spendor SP100 speakers years ago. They make stands for a lot of speakers.
As far as the rest of what you said, I didn’t get it. |
Hi tomic601,
I'm sorry, what is RT60? |
audioguy85,
It's hogwash even though you haven't tried it? Your post is what's hogwash. |
That opinion does not show clear thinking clearthinker. |
stringreen,
I might be the only person who doesn't know who you are referring to when you said this:
"I have witnessed the respect and difference of a once real poster on these pages go into the dumps. Too bad.... Its all about attitude... I won't be listening anymore."
You seem really upset so I'm wondering who it is. |
thecarpathian,
I didn't see much wisdom in it either. |
jollygreen,
You certainly like to use quotation marks. You don't seem to know how to use them, but you like to use them anyway. |
