DopeLord Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 HEY! I have the r-28f speakers, and I hate the look of the front feet. Any ideas on what I can do instead? I know these speakers have a high sensitivity so I'm trying to be careful here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MicroMara Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 @000 ( Randyh ) I know what they look like and it is very easy to remove the angles and replace them with the Dynavox decoupling pucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MicroMara Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 There are also Klipsch standard pucks under the rear base plate. Ideally you should be able to swap all 4 pucks and for about $25 it should be worth it.They also decouple better than the standard pucks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
