Re: Kharma Ceramique 2.0 stands

166.90.43.224

I have a pair of the 2.0s and I love them. Stands, or mechanical isolation, for the 2.0s is an interesting topic. Interesting in that when Kal Rubinson reviewed them in Stereophile, he did not mention using stands; I believe this may have effected his impression. The Kharma stands are expensive and probably worth it, but I never tried them. I initially used DH Squares (try JCAudio.com for access if you want to) which are cheap and easy. Even more importantly, they really come close to eliminating the problem Mr. Rubinson noted in and about 400 Hz. I later placed Ensemble Honey Plates, with the DH Squares, under these 110 pound monoliths with a pronounced benifit for the entire soundstage and bass realism. The footprint for the Honey Plate is just a bit larger than the speaker and that was an issue for me. (I had used the Honey Plates under my amps and thought they might work for the speakers too.) My flooring is plywood on joist construction. I hope this might help, Jim.
