A massive maple base with screw-in Heavyfeet is an excellent upgrade for any floorstanding speaker. That’s because 2" or 4" solid maple is a much better sink for vibration than 1⁄2" pine or plywood planking—and incomparably better than concrete slab flooring.
Concrete kills the bass and its nasty resonances smear the midrange and treble of your speakers. The cure is simple: a Maple Floorstander Plinth locked rigidly via Heavyfeet to the slab floor (through carpet, if necessary). This creates, in effect, an artificial wooden floor that eliminates the concrete’s sonic toxicity. Coupling your speaker to the Maple Plinth via three Triplepoints or Heavyfeet doubles the good effect of the maple. You’ll love the newfound bass, the much clearer midrange and the surprisingly extended treble.
If possible, make the plinth extend at least an inch on all sides of your speaker. By the way, speakers are the only gear for which brass footers make better mounts than Isoblocks on uncarpeted surfaces. This is because Isoblocks let speakers rock (creating muddy bass) and footers lock them rigidly to the floor.
