Peter sorry for being harsh in my statement..Tom
Isolation question. Monitor on Subwoofer
Just curious...
I have 2 subs, and due to space limits i have been thinking about going with Monitors and putting them on the subwoofers.
Here is my idea, if anyone knows if this will not work please let me know why.
Subwoofer on spikes.
On top of subwoofer either a marble or granite slab. Felt beneath the slab to keep it from scratching the top of the sub.
Monitor speakers coupled on small custom built stands (possibly built to hold sand or leadshot) to achieve the correct height, spikes on the stand which would sit on the granite above the subwoofer
Would this achieve decent isolation between the monitor and subwoofer? I see alot of speakers with built in subwoofers, or other types of speakers with the fullrange box and monitor on top, (GMA Continuims, Watt/puppy, etc)
Thoughts on this from you Coupleing/Isolation Guru's?
Would this do a decent job of isolation or should i look into other methods?

Tom I did not take your response that way at all! This is what works in my system and worth a try since you can do it cheap. Threads are meant to pass along good information to other members so they can become educated and get their system to sound better. Good information can hopefully improve ones system and I still try things out every month, just ask my wife, box after box is delivered by the UPS guy/gal. The exchange of ideas has helped me over the years I have been a member on Agon. Funny, I just got this sent to me: http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/gingko2/minicloud.html |
Peter thanks for the info. What works in our own separate worlds and experience is the most correct one at that portion of time. For you to stop at this point of time and with your open mindedness and desire for further knowledge on this particular subject would be a waste. Some of the products and techniques I have mentioned here so many times before, I feel are fundamental to the music. What I am a proponent of increases the efficiencey of any electro or mechanical device sitting on the platform or point.I have measured this acoustic gain..The detail, the gain in dynamic contrasts, the stage size, the focus all become more apparent,separate yet whole....Coherent and correct..I can tell you from the heart and the ear, isolation is not the key to the enhancement of the musical source.I can tell you there are exciting enhancements to the source that I have measured, recorded and photographed that will come to light in the next year..Tom |
