| Isolation Devices, Something to put on top of unit Matrix the most important thing is to provide one coherent directional surface for vibration to collect and exit. Having multiple exit points makes for less coherence instead of more coherence.That is the result I hear.Tom | |
| Isolation Devices, Something to put on top of unit When properly grounded mechanically you want to provide only one surface for vibration to exit. By having something on top you are disrupting the energy flow at the bottom of the chassis which can be grounded more easily and effectively. If you ar... | |

| Two subwoofers or One? I have always used two subs. Two subs actually augment the size and shape of the soundstage adding much to the width and vertical height. Of the many pairs of subs I have used I have placed them any where from 1.5 inches in front of or at the same... | |
| Room Acoustics Corner Problems Angles in the corners can be devised so as to redirect energy back to the listening position..You can also do this for all the ceiling wall junctions as well as the two remaining corners.Nothing wrong with a corner as long as it is not a 90 and pl... | |
