Any reason not to put soft felt pads on the rubber feet of LFR880’s? Would allow easier moving of the big speakers for cleaning. We don’t listen really loud, but I’m not sure if that would cause any issues.
Another idea is casters with brakes for even better mobility. Anyone know if that would create problems?
Thanks,
Bill
I'd use some furniture sliders, just tilt the speaker and slip the slider underneath with your foot.
Avoid casters particularly if you are on hardwood. They will couple speaker vibration into the floor and vice-versa. Adrian's idea is a good one.
BTW, how do your LFRs sound?
I purchase 8 ISO Acoustic gaiai ll from the Toronto Audio Show for my M100s with
outriggers. They lift them by 1.5 “.

RJ, it sounds like you're really getting into this audio stuff.
There a Toronto based company with many good reviews I researche and think about it forever kinda guy. They had two sets of speakers set up one with feet and other on factory mounts. The one with feet sounder cleaner with a bigger sound stage. To me anyways.
Mojo yes I really enjoy it.I really like listening to music in the basement.
RJ
You have a very nice system there, RJ. No complaints.
I really enjoy the LFR’s. I have an extremely simple stereo only system, no subwoofer, and I have not been disappointed. For me it’s a great compromise, omnidirectional sound without all the extra surround sound speakers and electronics. I have not missed a subwoofer at all.
Thanks. That's great to hear.
Bill,
In my 2 channel system the L/R speakers are a bit heavy at 124 lbs each.
These came with spikes, no rubber feet as an alternative.
With the rooms floor being of traditional oak planks I was concerned with the difficulty
of moving these around and also with damaging the floor.
After searching the net and considering several choices I settled on a product from
Herbies, their 1.375” diameter gliders. For me they work most excellently. YMMV
They do offer other products that might suit you better. Worth looking in to.
cheers, Jeff
Hi Jeff ,
I just purchase 2 sets of Iso acoustic GAIA II feet for my M100s improves sound. Very easy to install and theY look excellent. Look them up.

Bob M,
The IsoAcoustic GAIA ll were one of the products I considered. But, after viewing a couple of YouTube videos I decided they were not for me.
The Herbies Audio Labs product I settled on has been all I needed.
Cheers
Jeff
Have you all tried marshmallow puffs?
Mojo ,
Absolutely, problem when in need of a snack it is the first place I go to.

Thanks for all the thoughts. I wound up just putting high quality self stick felt pads over the factory rubber feet so the speakers can be moved around a bit for cleaning without lifting. So far so good.
