Affordable threaded isolation feet?

[Dougey_Jones]

So, is there a $50 for four version of this somewhere out there?

And what is it supposed to do, price notwithstanding?

Threaded isolation feet for your speaker, rather than spikes.

Maybe something like this?

Just be sure to match the durometer to the weight of the speaker.

If you want to spend $50 on them I suppose. Can't see it myself.

I generally like SVS products, but I don’t see a threaded lug to screw them in, and don’t want stick ones.

i purchased some of the PE ones that were in the first reply since they were so cheap I can afford to experiment. These will be used with the stands for Vandersteen 2CE which are excellent themselves, but do not come with screw in feet, just threaded holes.

I replaced the spikes on my speakers with the feet that came free with my Ikea Besta wall units BESTÅ white, Frame, 60x20x38 cm - IKEA. I had to change the inserts in the speaker baseplate (from 6mm to 8mm) and I added some 50mm foam sick-on disks...

I don't know if you just set stuff on the SVS or if there's a screw option, but for that price I'll just use standard rubber feet like I linked....have used a couple different models under a variety of diy subs and risers, they work great.

The smaller UFO absorbers almost fits your bill but I have no experience with them. Screws not included.

No worries mate, but for posterity, it does look like these are screw in:

"The Sound Path Subwoofer Isolation System ships in packages of four(4) or six(6) feet with three popular thread sizes in various lengths to accommodate a wide range of subwoofers, regardless of brand."

Well, I might have to sell mine if they don't work with the stands that match my soon-to-arrive new speakers.

Although mine are the similar Gaia III.

Not sure what the import restrictions are from China to the US but Aliexpress has a variety of reasonably priced feet.

Those look to be metal on metal, though, as opposed to having rubber / Sorbothane on the bottom.

 

[GordonParet]

A bad example in this case. I just wanted to point out that Aliexpress may be an option. A person will have to surf around.

i used some leftover 3/4" horsestall mat from another project. not scientific but with some experimental placement im satisfied.
i have carpet over wood on the third floor. even 2ft from the front wall and corner it boomed.
the sub is sitting on a mat the same size as it.
less boom but some smear.
i put 3/4" hardboard on the mat. much, much better. bass tightened up a good bit. a lot less boom. bass is sharper even.
i also turned it to face the front wall just yesterday and ill have to listen for a week or so but i like it so far. maybe a little drop in response. hard to say . sounds good with a bit less strength. on the other hand, the mids got noticeably more dynamic which i hadnt heard before.
so far so good. havent got around to doing measurements yet. might be awhile. all them numbers make my head hurt.
im happy with what i hear. and we ARE always experimenting are we not.
