Thanks for the comment. The base is do make a difference specially if you’re not on a concrete floor, I decided to do the bases after installing quite a few granite bases for Vanderteens for John at Audio connection the bases don’t just help the bass they helped the sound of the entire speaker. It’s like taking a photograph hand holding a camera or taking a photograph on a tripod imaging better focus so the more stable your speaker. It’s like putting a camera on a tripod. It’s not gonna move. That’s why I don’t understand why people put their speakers on top of spring platforms. You’re just making your image out of Focus. The bases are bolted to the sevens which you can’t bolt them to the bottom of the trio or the Quattro but talking to Richard you’ll be getting about 80% effectiveness compared to the seventh
As far as having an a maid, I went to a counter shop and it’s they’re made with absolute black granite which I was told is the heaviest they’re three layers thick and the pair I had made the guy only charged me 600 because he had the granite in stock if he didn’t have the granite in stock, they would’ve been around 12 and not every counter top place would even make them so you’re gonna have to shop around but again definitely think it’s worth the effort and the money
Good morning fellow Tom, your system looks very similar to mine, I currently have the Treo CT’s but am picking up Quatros here next month, also fed by the wonderful Atlas. I notice in your pics you look to have initially had the quatros directly on the carpet, then added the bases (which look nice as well!), so I take it you were very pleased with the change in sound with those bases? My floor is pretty solid but it is the second floor of the home. I’m sure those bases weren’t cheap to make!
John's a good guy and so is his analog guy, Nick. I have some similar components. System looks great! Where did you get the granite bases made and how did you account for their height when setting up the Quatro's rake angle?
Your system reminds me of one of mine...housed in an old fashioned but nice "entertainment system". We had ours built in when we built the house when 36 TV's were huge. Live and learn.
If you're interested, I have two systems posted in the virtual section.
