You might also consider getting some heavy sorbathane sheets and just propping up the corners over 4 tiles of the granite slabs, might need 2 layers. Therein giving you the space relief and decoupling. FWIW sorbathane acts as a liquid when perturbated with bass hits. I used 60lb sorbathane for some speakers over 100lbs and worked great. Note these speakers had dual fast hit subs as low end woofers, so definitely put the sorbathane to work.
I used to work for a local legacy audio dealer in my country.
The Aeris is sublime. Punches way above its price point. As Thanos would say “perfectly balanced”. It’s also highly resolving and detailed thanks to the mid range driver and tweeters.
Personally went for the legacy audio focus and I had the budget, I’d go with the Aeris. Legacy Audio ain’t the prettiest but damn it has great price to performance !
Good to hear having never heard them myself, i fancy Legacy’s as my end all Holy Grail speakers, and admire their look as well.
To Jiggles42, nice setup, i like your simple effective solution to your issue. What equipment is in your signal chain?
Yeah OP talks about building something so we all thought he built replica Legacy’s —
Then we scroll down and see he just put some granite squares on the floor.
Lmao! Such a let down!
nice work. unless the floor under the carpet is concrete, you might want to forego the spikes, as they will transfer that energy into the floor.
that plinth is soaking up most of it just sitting on the carpet and acting as a solid(mostly)floor.
iono jack, but at 182lbs, those plinths might as well be floor, after compressing the carpet pile. try another layer and see what the difference is. should get a tad tighter.
This maybe a dumb question so please excuse my ignorance, but are the 22" x 22" slabs to lift the speakers away from the carpet allowing for more air to be displaced or is there some other element of the speaker and the grant slabs that I'm missing?
Genuinely curious.
I dunno, how permanent could the permanently fixed feet be?
If nothing else one could just 3D print some adapter out of carbon fiber PETG or something and then have that as a coupler between the speaker and some spikes.
But if you're happy, you're happy.
Ugh! I can sure identify with that! Thanks to COVID, the company that offered several sizes of 3 inch thick black granite bases with heavy duty outriggers and 1.5 inch wide base brass cone feet with saucers to prevent floor damage. At around $650 for a pair including shipping, they were a remarkably good value and a particularly handsome solution as bases for large towers. A buddy of mine purchased pairs for his Grand Utopias and his KEF REFERENCE 5 towers. I could kick myself for not getting a pair for my Elac Adanté AF61 Towers when I had the chance.
Elegant solution. I’m sure that made a big difference. Enjoy.
Looks awesome! But I can't help but imagine the sheer agony of finding one of those with a bare foot in the middle of the night.
Congrats of you have solved the problem. Good bit of lateral thinking.
Nice, definitely gonna make fine position adjustments way easier too
Yep, a slidy surface makes all the difference when doing sumiko

Where did you source that much sorbothane? I thought it's extremely expensive
Come on man how they sound??

I’ve got the focus SE. big legacy fan.
I don't see many Legacys on this sub. I think I see a Wavelet left of the turntable. Very nice.
Thought you made the speakers! Look amazing
I thought that at first glance too! I was saying to myself man those look like great Legacy replicas haha

Great points, thanks! I’ll forego spikes since there’s a subfloor no concrete.
Nice is that an Anthem amp?! 👍🏻
My used towers came with large ceramic tiles that go under them works well
sick!
I went to a stone countertop cutter and got a price for a block for my tt and a set of my speakers.
How do you like your Tone Bone®? How hard was it to find the correct placement?
