| Question/Advice About Isolation Feet for Speakers I was on the same journey with isolation vs. coupling to the floor on a second story carpet over wood floor. I did several experiments, herbie's gliders, 1 3/4 inch stone with spikes, spikes through the carpet and no spikes. I was experiencing s... | |
| Poor Fritz Hey,Someone just buy the Fritz and Madisound speakers and do a review. | |
