AVALON OWNERS...

If you want a tweak that is not so subtle ,try the Sistrum 101 stand underneath and use the isolating disc with avm paint.Ask Robert of starsound about the new Geicko's foot and see if it's ready yet? The 101 stand will blow your mind with a 30% improvement in every area of sound.Also the Totem Beaks are a better tweak for the top of the cabinet and really improve the imaging.As Rushton correctly stated "paying attention to the details creates the Magic".Cheers Dennis

I have my Avalons on a carpet,with a concrete floor underneath(classic Ascent mk-2's).I am using the standard supplied "German Cones".Does anyone think these can be improved,to any real degree?
Thanks.

Sirspeedy, take a look at my first post in this thread and then my followup. I was quite surprised by the significant improvement we got here over the stock stainless steel spikes (if that is what you're using). From what I hear with Lloyd's Valid Points, I believe you will hear a material improvement by replacing the stock spikes. I'm coupling my Eidolons to a suspended oak floor, so ymmv, but it sure would be worth trying given the results we hear and the return guarantee Lloyd offers.

I forgot to mention that a friend put the Sistrum 101 under his Avalon Eclispe and was totally shocked at the difference.Somebody should try this and post the results. These racks destroy any brass feet and really allow the speaker to perform at a new level!Cheers Dennis

Any spike protector discs will work as long as you keep the
speaker height similar to for the downward firing port. Different cones
will have slight sonic differences, but
relative to cost those differences are rather small.

If cost is less of an object, you may wish to try Finite Element Cerabases or Cerapucs which would not require
spikes, cones or protectors and still keep the speaker base height similar to stock and protect your flooring at the same time.
