Know before you buy
Yes, while they are precision-engineered for the Model Five, their sturdy 14-gauge steel construction makes them a versatile choice for other bookshelf or floor-standing speakers of similar dimensions.
The upward tilt directs the sound output directly toward your ears when you are seated. This helps minimize floor reflections and ensures you receive a more accurate, focused soundstage.
Yes, the bases are crafted from 14-gauge steel, providing a dense and rigid foundation. This mass helps dampen unwanted cabinet resonances, allowing your speakers to perform with greater clarity.
The bases are designed with a durable powder-coated finish and a solid footprint. Depending on your specific flooring, you may want to add small felt or rubber pads to the bottom to prevent scratching.
These riser bases provide an 8-inch elevation. This height is specifically calculated to bring the Model Five’s tweeter closer to ear level for a more immersive listening position.
