Carbide Audio makes excellent isolation feet https://carbide.audio/ . Well worth checking out.

That’s the size mine are, current price is $1000 for a pair of Svelt 14” x 19”

 I don’t think those would dampen cabinet vibration, that’s what the improvements I hear are from. Think about the small movements the drivers are making normally, and what added vibrations from the cabinets would do to the sound. Those would help on a wood floor better than I think they would help on concrete.

  Interested in peoples choice of footers for NX Otica or whatever speakers you own. I have those cheap Chinese made three ball isolation pucks under my NX Oticas, but maybe I should use spikes or cones instaed?

If you want isolation forget metal feet, they send energy as a radio.
The best isolation feet I had tested was blocks of Poly Ethilene medium density, they are cheap and usually white, however they are not a fancy machined metal piece.

Just found the Cable Company has the speaker set Super and Ultra in stock at $1495 https://www.thecableco.com/super-plus-speaker-set.html

As you know the Svelte are 1.25” and the Super and Ultra are 2.75” thick.

All the Symposium stuff here https://www.thecableco.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=Symposium

Try a couple smaller Svelte shelves under the crossover board, I’m probably insane but I think it helped also.

Glady86, why not, if you have them laying around. Anything that keeps vibration away from your crossover is good for the sound.

Have you guys seen our new spikes?

Aluminum and Copper...

[Glady86]

Those look good, fair price too. Danny, did you ever try a something like the Symposium under speakers yet?

[NXSTUDIO-DRUMMER]

These are unlike any I've ever seen! 

Personally I think they're not appealing, but in audio, it's all about performance. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I think he has a vibration issue!

I kinda like the ones on the end of my legs.

Really interesting topic. I used to like spikes into carpet. Then I got so I didn't like carpet any more. I was less happy with spikes onto a non-carpet floor. I see many spikes that use a cup to protect the floor.

I am afraid that I never have understood the physics of this approach. The effectiveness of the spike and cup has to depend on how strongly the spike is attached to the speaker and how strongly the cup is attached to the floor. The spike concentrates all of the weight and vibration into a tiny area allowing for the benefits of a strong coupling. Maybe there is a piece of rubber underneath the cup helping it to stick to the floor.
But if instead you had a single piece of steel that included the spike and cup (maybe by welding them together) and the same piece of rubber underneath, what benefit is offered by the spike/cup interface? I suspect that there is some sort of mechanical filtering going on that I don't understand. Perhaps someone could point me toward a website or other source that explains this.

Thanks.
