Need To Decouple Your Speakers But Don't Want To Pay Out The Nose? Anti

You say there is no such thing, then you explain how to decouple the speaker, with books. Yet still when i go to another room I can hear the bass sounds that are transmitted via the structure of the house. The improvement in performance going to the Herbies Gliders was gob-smacking! You cannot begin to imagine how profound this one modest change in the system was. I was using foam previously, but moved to sorbothane hemispheres, huge difference.

This will create high and mid frequency time and resolution smearing, which effectively sounded warmer and with greater imaging to my ears. It will also make the speakers less loud because they are using some of the energy to move the cabinets, which results with drop of speaker efficiency, to me quite audible. I think the whole idea of the spikes/cones is to couple the speaker to the floor to reduce the amount of low frequency vibration from moving the cabinet around and thus interefering with the bass response of the speaker. If you are considering a set you need to be sure that the product you are interested in was designed to be able to take the weight of your monitors. Users can either opt for using 3 or 4 pucks beneath each of their monitors as long as the pucks are positioned in such a way that means their monitors are stable and wobble free.

I've even heard of people pouring in liquid concrete and letting it solidify. So what happens is your stands weren't coupled to the floor before because there was a layer of carpet and carpet padding under them, so they were free to pass sympathetic vibrations back and forth to your speakers. But by literally spiking studio monitors them to the floor, they pass these rogue vibrations on to the floor and beyond. That's why decoupling creates a tighter bass response and a better stereo image, because speakers are designed to accommodate their own vibrations.

Maybe it was due to the more heroic bracing and aluminum front baffle of the 3.7s I don't know. But all instruments floated free of the 3.7s, even hard panned instruments. But hard panned instruments have been more "stuck" to the 2.7s, making the soundstage a bit more triangular or curve shaped - good depth the more you move to the middle, less so, converging towards the speakers to the sides.

We focus on education, discussion, and sharing of entry and mid level separate & multi component audio systems.

Only thing i could come up with is the air movement being absorbed and transmitted by the large flat wall/floor surfaces.

Me, now that you have them cleaned up, I'd try them au-natural - just sit the things on the stands, plop the stands on the floor, place appropriately and listen. Music is a clearer and 'more stereo' if you know what I mean. Imagine trying to rock a small row-boat with your body weight. But, the boat is also easily rocked by the waves on the water. Could you clarify whether your saying cement blocks are helpful or not.
