Symposium Ulta Shelf under floor standing speakers - Any Thoughts ?

Ah, the audiophile’s dilemma - to couple or isolate? What to do, what to do? 🤔

OK, so, I’m an old school isolation guy, meaning mass on spring isolation system with extremely hard coupling between the component and the iso device and between the iso device and the floor. If the Symposium is such a device I’m all for it but I notice on their web site they say their shelf can be used with roller balls and on top of low frequency iso stands, which means it’s not (rpt not) a seismic type iso device, rather a vibration damper/absorber. And go add that the Ultra shelf will not solve low frequency footfall problems either. Which is a little odd, since the speakers wouldn’t be subject to very low frequencies of any type. If the components were not isolated then isolating speakers would not help for seismic type vibration of other causes, they would be lower than the lowest frequency of the speakers. Obviously all components, including the speakers, should be isolated from very low frequency vibration for best results.

My pleasure, carebear.
