Rather than marble my recommendation is to try 1 1/2 inch maple butcher block. I have been using this for years with great success and for much less $$ than marble

I'm not sure what all these recommendations are for (I haven't read the entire thread), but I've noticed that some recommendations are for very hard materials. The degree of hardness does not correlate directly with the ability to control resonances, if that's what the recommendations are for. There are many hard materials that ring (resonate) quiet noisily, such as cement, and hollow steel tubing. So, the application needs to be appropriate.

Regarding grammar and puctuation, I'm in agreement with Nathan. Properly used grammar helps readers to better interpret the writer's actual meaning and intent, and it helps to avoid misunderstandings that can lead to all kinds of negative outcomes. However, if someone wishes to correct another, it might be better to be as tactful as possible.

ONE-
Someome did mention Butcher Block in my reads.

What Dimensions should it be to rest the TipToes that are on the Bottom of the Speaker Base be?

Let's say for instance that the Base of the Speaker's are 1ft. sq.,what would be the over hang you would use and at what Ht. would you use of the piece of Butcher block?

You use Wilson's which have Inverted Domes which I have read alot about.My speaker's use a similar Tweeter.

Have not the pleasure of hearing Krell's,but Mark Lev's I have heard with my speaker's and that was the best setup I have heard.The Preamp was a AR.

I do my best and try to convey my thoughts as best I can,think that is what is important more than doting i's and crossing t's.

Guess all those years in the drama class of life did not help much!

Trying one's best is all that is needed. Actually, one's best is not even necesarry. We sometimes like to make a quick comment, and, as long as the message is easily understood, there's no need for anyone to get anal. What bugs me sometimes are careless and thoughtless comments that are a waste of everyone's time.

One
Just to add--On Butcher Block

If you are talking about the Butcher Block stuff that is White ,I will just warn you that the stuff does tend to warp.I have worked with it in the past and there is some in back of my shop now that do to the elements it does warp.That would be a concern,but I do not know if that would present a problem in normal listening enviroment.

On another note,I am still trying to decide what to use for amps in a Vertical amping setup.I have gotten a few opinion's,but have not talked to Bill Kieltyka of NEAR for awhile and he was the original designer of the speaker's.

I do not even know weather the Vertical Amping would be correct phrasing as I would use an amp for both the left & right channel driver's.

Was thinking of using Monarchy's ,modified B&K's or a combo of amps to get the best synergy.Will have to look into it further.Has been driving me whacky though!

Any experience's\opinion's would help !

The butcher block absolutely does not warp. I would recommend Maple butcher block 1 1/2 inches high. As to,the length and width, just get enough that your component sits comfortably on it. I bought mine at a cabinent maker and have 5 now in my system and have never had a problem with warping.

You can see mine if you access my room at

That might make some sense if ABEX's mistakes were LESS time-consuming; in fact he adds random capitalization which takes more time, however small, and unnecessary apostrophes to pluralize which again takes all that time. The fact that he does this consistently indicates it's not a matter of time, but of knowledge.

I'll point out, again, that this only came up AFTER ABEX posted that people paying $600 for "Footer's [sic]" were idiots. As I pointed out above, posters calling others "idiots" shouldn't be grammar idiots themselves.

ABEX,
I would have been happy to have let this drop, but my post was addressed to audiojerry's "no need to get anal" comment and "careless and thoughtless comments."

Alrighty--
