Auralex Acoustics ProPAD Studio Monitor Acoustic Isolation Pads, 1 Set

If quality sound is important to you, these stands do provide deeper soundstage, and finer resolution in the mid range, as claimed. I will also say the bass is slightly cleaner/tighter with more texture. I already had a pair of magical sounding floor speakers, but now they sound even better than before, so good investment for me. Yes, I'm using these for floorstanding speakers, which are 8 inches wide. My only request to the manufacturer is for them to make a pro pad version a little wider, like 9-10 inches wide, since the top layer on this model is more like 7.5 inches wide and not 8 inches as described in the manufacturer dimensions. I took off 1 star because the stands top layer is NOT 8 inches wide, as is described. The center piece, made out of mdf, where the emblem is located is 8" wide, but it's the top layer, which is what the speakers rest on.... Note: There is a ProPad XL version listed at 13" wide by 19" long, for those looking for a much larger version, but it's pricey! **UPDATE** 5/30/17 I have been really impressed with these stands after listening to lots of music, and movies. So mush so, I'm increasing my review to 5 STARS! BTW - match very good with Elac floor-standing speakers (easily handles the extra weight) in size and color..... Highly recommend!

ob die mopads oder die propads, auralex hat sich seinen namen wohl verdient. die propads sind absolute spitzenklasse in der monitor entkopplung. unter meine monitore kommt nur noch auralex. bei monitor auf tisch benutzung sind diese entkopplungspads sowieso pflicht, aber auch auf staendern verbessern sie die akustik ungemein.

Like a previous review from a few years ago, I ordered the Auralex ProPads and was surprised when opening the package that the hard rubber on top was very crooked, and so was the foam on the bottom. I was able to remove the hard rubber and put it back on straight. I didn't want to risk trying to remove the foam on the bottom, and it's less noticeable anyway so I left it as is. One of the logos had a little ding in it as well. Like the previous reviewer, I immediately wondered if Auralex had shipped seconds or B stock. For that reason I give it three stars. I considered returning them, but since I could fix the most noticeable defect, I kept them, as they still do the job they were intended to do. The bottom line for me is that I would hesitate to buy anything from this manufacturer in the future. The store they came from shipped them quickly and ahead of schedule.

Très bon produit mais présente de très nombres traces de colle, y compris sur la mousse. Donne l'impression d'avoir été manipulé sans soin à l'assemblage avec des mains tâchées de colle. Heureusement, tout est parti, en insistant un peu, avec un chiffon humide. Plutôt inacceptable pour un article de ce prix pour lequel, clairement, le prix découle plus de la qualité globale du produit que des matériaux utilisés. Mériterait 5 étoiles sans ce manque de soin.

Terrific product. This vastly improved the response and clarity of my lows and mids on some infinity floor standing 363s. It supports them nicely (weighing in at a bout 45 lbs a piece) and looks phenomenal. I thought I might be buying in to snake oil but I was surely mistaken these worked a charm. Took my front channel speakers (and my 2 subs with the sub dudes highly recommend those as well) to the next level. Great purchase even if it is a bit pricey.
