Stability of Isoacoustics supports?
« on: 15 Jun 2025, 09:42 pm »
I am still very happy with the beautiful sound of my CAMs, but I have concerns about the stability of the Isoacoustics Iso-Stand 155 supports. For instance, if the speaker is tilted downward, about 4 degrees? Wouldn't want those cabinets sliding off and onto the floor!

Won't the speakers fall down?

I own a pair of the IsoAcoustics stands. I've used them for years without incident. The contact surface between the speaker bottom and the circular 'post' is rubber or silicon (don't know which) that is slightly cupped. This contact surface is very grippy and holds onto my speakers very nicely. It is not a slippery surface.

This link will take you to the Isoacoustics website to show you the Aperta models. The page alternates between black and silver colored stands. In silver, the black silicon/rubber top layer is very visible. [The 155 models have this same membrane.] Scroll down to the spot that shows the three Aperta sizes.

@mresseguie. Thanks. So you use them tilted downwards. Is that right?

I use one as a center channel stand (and I believe the center channel is 61 pounds). I also use their Gaia feet on my main speakers.

Thank you very much for your answers. I will continue to use Isoacoustics supports with confidence.

Wow there some really nice Thiel you got there. I''m still looking a 2 way or 3 way that can match Omega in quality.

I had a similar concern as one of my bookshelf speakers has to sit near a large patio door. Was going to buy those stands but got the individual pucks instead. As mentioned, the pucks are concave and grab the surface on either side. It's actually quite difficult to separate the speaker from the platform and the platform from the subwoofer. No chance of an accidental knock-over. If you need the tilt you can put the larger ones in the rear and the smaller in the front.
