In Reply to: What are cost effective and quality ways to raise a floorstander 3 inches? posted by NDalfriend@aol.com on February 20, 2007 at 01:12:08:
Don't ask cost first, ask functionality. Anything you're going to use needs to be for sonic reasons first, then esthetics and cost. Consider the need for vibration control between speaker cabinet and floor. Try isolation, then coupling or combos and see what works. Look in the archives here at Tweaks asylum for lots of cheap suggestions.When you find what works for you, you can always upgrade for quality, functionality and esthetics.
As to the sound reflection, you might want to try other speaker placements that reduce the reflection from the side of your entertainment center cabinet. In fact, I'm only guessing here, but have you ever tried someting like room lens clones behind or beside your speakers? Easy to mock up for under $30 a pair and might do the trick. Sure work well behind my speakers, which have an upright piano between them!

pavers: $3 at home depot. not a wide variety of sizes...go to a fabric store, buy yourself some felt-- wrap 'em like a present and glue it to the paver with construction adhesive.
massive, cheap, and not wholly unattractive.. certainly almost invisible wrapped in unobtrusive felt. and.. its a good room decoupler..
It works well, and it's fun to just leave them on the floor by themselves, people think they are pillows and kick them.
OUCH!
