| Sellers: When do you drop your price? That’s MC’s specialty. Very rough grade, but useful. | |

| Speaker Spike Philosophy BTW, I spoke with KEF about my speakers and they agree that the platform concept I am going to try, replacing the braces/spikes/discs with the multi-component platform can remove vibrations/distortions within the speaker cabinets.I didn't ask them... | |
| Speaker Spike Philosophy Interesting. Have you tried isolation platforms? I am going to try Symposium’s as I mentioned above. I like the way it will work and fit with my speakers and keep the height constant.It has multiple layers with one being a foam core that is the ab... | |
| Speaker Spike Philosophy Thanks @antigrunge2 I spoke with Peter at Symposium and we decided on the Segue platforms (it's a little higher off the ground which I need and I didn't want to go for the roller blocks and the platforms - I can always add them) - he said it will ... | |
| Speaker Spike Philosophy Hey @mitch2 - I now understand that Townshend has speaker bars that a speaker can sit on top of at a substantially lower cost, but still using the podiums. They claim the improvement from the podiums on speakers is even greater than that I got fro... | |
| Speaker Spike Philosophy @mitch2 - as I previously mentioned, I use the Townshend seismic platform (with 4 podiums underneath) for my turntable. It was like listening to a new turntable when I put them in, after I got the correct podiums for the small weight of my table. ... | |
| Speaker Spike Philosophy Interesting MC....I just can’t believe how the Wilsons of the world wouldn’t want to improve their speakers sound on new models. Adding a couple grand to $50K speakers be worth it if the improvement is as significant as I experienced with my plat... | |
| Speaker Spike Philosophy Hey MC- my speakers are not $250, but were $3000 list. I got a huge close out discount which makes the Townshend speaker platforms much more expensive than the speakers.it is interesting you have to admit, that no floor standing speaker is designe... | |
| Speaker Spike Philosophy I hate to disagree @linnvolk, but I have an engineering degree, took physics (even thought it was in Computer Science and Engineering) and knew about Coulomb's law (I vaguely remember it) and of course friction, but not "Coulomb Friction".In any c... | |
| members and their systems I’m sure it is better, just like the 996 was better than the 993. Just not my cup of tea. I wish they made a Cayman with a sunroof (which I know doesn’t fit without really reducing headroom). I’ve gone from 996 (C4) to 997.1 (S) to 997.2 (GTS). Th... | |
| members and their systems 992 is way too big and complicated and all turbos. 991 was too big for that matter and had a ridiculous looking sunroof when open. I like the 997.2- no IMS problems. Regular in line 6, sunroof, etc.I know .... that what the purists said when the w... | |
| Speaker Spike Philosophy +1 @linnvolk Most of the belittling involves @millercarbon, who does know a lot, but sometimes doesn’t understand some of your points above. Your dealer sounds like a good guy. Everybody’s hearing, taste, and priorities/budget are different.I don... | |
| Speaker Spike Philosophy @mitch2 - The R500s weigh 48 lbs and the discs are 1square inch (1.125 inch diameter)) with 4 spikes, so 12 psi if you assume the force is evenly distributed throughout the bottom of the disc, which is not possible as the disc gets thicker as you ... | |
| Speaker Spike Philosophy mitch2 - I'm talking about the tip of the spike going into a tiny indentation in the middle of the disc which is where it reacts with the floor. The weight of the speaker will go through that small area, not the entire disc because that is where t... |
