I always wondered wich are "the better ones"? Personal preference? Or is one better than the other at decoupling the speakers from the floor? I have laminate boards on concrete as a floor in my living room. André I would mount 50 mm diameter / 21 mm hight solid aluminium feet with solid rubber attachments on both sides in the existing threaded sleeves. You can use Klipsch's existing non-metric screws for this. Because you have a laminate floor on concrete, you need to decouple the RF 3 from the room, you do this with spikes, this is only done in rooms with stone or tile floors. This is called room docking, which is the exact opposite of what is necessary. https://www.ebay.de/itm/4x-Dynavox-massive-Hifi-Geratefuse-Aluminium-50mm-Boxenfuse-Gummidampfer-schwarz/191844639984?hash=item2caad4e4f0:g:D~kAAOSwq4VaORDr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

André You should unscrew the overhanging floor brackets completely from the ground plate, this is easy and then replace them with the Dynavox aluminium / rubber floor feet. This reduces room resonances, decouples the RF3 from the room and it will gain precision in imaging its sound over the entire frequency range. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreG. Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 @MicroMara, ok now i get it, get rid of the plasic assembly also. Thinking about it, this might also be the better asthetic solution. Never thought about that, thanks! André 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
