Hi guys I've been told that putting isolation pads under my bookshelf speakers will improve sound quality they are currently sitting on the small silicone feet that came with. The speakers are monitor audio silver 50 7g radius 200 and radius 90s. Is there any truth in this and if so what would you recommend
I agree with the above. If you have them on a cabinet then the answer is yes they may make a difference as the cabinet itself can act like a resonance chamber especially if that cabinet is of a flimsy build quality.
In short, then you do need isolation pads. Do you have a turntable on the cabinet if so I would advise getting speaker stands, they are not too expensive you can get good ones for under £50 they would do a better job than isolation pads, this is assuming you have space for them.
These are also very good vfm imo - you get 12 in a pack and can stack them if needed.. I use them under my heavy (large MA silver C350 - with no issues:
