mungkiman Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Does anyone know if Klipsch still uses, or sells, the "Dome of Silence" feet that came with early Heritage speakers? I don't know what exactly the name refers to, but I am missing two domes. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthurs Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 I can't help here but wanted to note what a cool name "dome of silence" is.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 There is this hardware store in Petaluma (Masselli's) that specializes in buying-out hardware stores. They have acres of hardware scattered about. A few years ago I did see a large stash of "Domes of Silence" (I remember because I love the name) in original 50's-60's packaging. I'm certain they still have them. PM or email your address, and next time I'm down that way (should be within the next couple of weeks) I will pick up what you need and get them off to you.

Frzninvt Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Fini, when you acquire them can you post a photo of what they look like? I may want some for my old Cornwalls. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheltie dave Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 While you are there, can you pick up a floating "Cone of Silence" as well. Once in a while, my wife gets on a roll, my eyes start to roll back in my head, and it would be nice to have a, well, .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mungkiman Posted February 9, 2004 Author Share Posted February 9, 2004 Terry and all, Here is a JPG of a Dome of Silence, with a quarter to demonstrate relative size. I had always heard that these "feet" were only for sliding them around during production. Was this sliding "silent", or do these feet serve an acoustic purpose?

cluless Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Are y'all sure that the Dome of Silence isn't just one of those things that keep the pizza box from sticking to the cheese? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheltie dave Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Clu, that would be the "dome of stupidity," as my wife stands back to let me again prove that the law of physics will not be denied....what sticks to the top of the pizza box easily sticks to the roof of your moth as well.

ricktate Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Yes those metal sliders were put on at factory so they could slide speaker around,,,,if you have smooth floor you need to take them off and use grippers from wal-mart.Andy was first to recomend these i tried them and wow,,,the grippers make the speaker hook up much better and my LaScalas never sounded better,,,,you guys should really try this....Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungkiman Posted February 12, 2004 Author Share Posted February 12, 2004 I want them all. Single ones could be sold with a string as Domes of Silence wind chimes. They would look good on a belt or hatband, and 30,000 of them would cover my living room floor. Just think how easily (and quietly) I could move my speakers around.

WMcD Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 I looked at patent. It is just for a caster to be put on the bottom of a piece of funature. It might have been high tech 100 years ago. At one time, there was a type of radio navigation system for aviation wich relied on crossed antenna patterns of signals. Long story. When you were "on the beam" you'd hear a constant tone. A referrence to this is found in the music of South Pacific. However, when the plane was directly over the transmitter, there was a "cone of silence." This later was used as a gag in "Get Smart" as the cone of silence. Does this do anything for audio? No, I don't think so. Gil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
