have a look on the net for shops that sell foam for different purposes. most of them allow you to to do special orders for the right size and density to put your speakers one.
cheaper and customized for your needs compared to the stuff you get at music stores. the store brands are the same with just a standard size and a logo on it.

Thats defo not right. Proper isolation pads have a thick metall plate in them, which has complementory resonance characteristics to the foam.
you mean the ones that cost 160,- euro each. the standard what most people use are just foam in a much lower pricerange. dont think that someone with those yamahas will pay 300,- euros for that. better to invest that money into better room acusticsjobbanaught wrote:deccard wrote:have a look on the net for shops that sell foam for different purposes. most of them allow you to to do special orders for the right size and density to put your speakers one.

Yeah, i was talking about the proper isolation pads, bought them for 100,- each. And actually they improved my sound more than any other room treatmentdeccard wrote:you mean the ones that cost 160,- euro each. the standard what most people use are just foam in a much lower pricerange. dont think that someone with those yamahas will pay 300,- euros for that. better to invest that money into better room acusticsjobbanaught wrote:deccard wrote:have a look on the net for shops that sell foam for different purposes. most of them allow you to to do special orders for the right size and density to put your speakers one.

But your right, if its about the 15,- Eur things, buy the foam yourself and either have it cut or cut it yourself.
