I am getting a new pair of subwoofers made. This is a custom job and will look like an extension of my entertainment cabinet:
... if you can imagine the cabinet extended either way sideways, that's what the sub will look like. You can also see that the valve amps are placed on either side of the TV. I need to create some space there because I will soon be upgrading to a larger TV, which means that the amps will have nowhere to go, except on top of my new subwoofers.
These subs are configured in an isobaric back to back configuration, which should reduce vibrations somewhat. However, the sub designer advises me that no matter how much internal bracing he designs in, vibrations can never be eliminated.
My question: will there be any harm in placing the valve amps on top of the subs? If I have no choice but to do it, can someone recommend an isolation platform that is PROVEN to reduce vibration and tuned to bass frequencies?
