What's the base on the Tritons made of (black shiny part & what type of wood)??

It's made of solid MDF with a high gloss black painted premium finish. Also, the speaker should never be used without the base as it would be a tip over hazard.

Triton 2 with Mapleshade Threaded Thick Carpet Heavy foot (brass footers)

Hey Anthem, Bro
Are you still using these brass feet on your Triton 2s??? Did you determine whether or not they help? I can't remember where we left that discussion, but I was thinking that you are not using them now.
Please give us any updates on your personal journey to sonic nirvana???
I think we can all gain from it.
Thanks, Wayne

Hey Wayne:

I sent the Mapleshade footers back in exchange for the Clear view Double Helix Plus Version speaker cables. The footers messed up the soundstage by raising the speakers to high. I was just showing what the Tritons looked like with Maple shade footers. Still working on thoughts about the Clear view speaker cables. I still own a pair of their Clearview Double Helix (not the plus version) speaker cable. Is there a difference? yes, though subtle.

This all comes about from a comment made by pitkow33. He said Pierre from Mapleshade says "the plastic bottoms are terrible and suggests I remove them and use brass heavy spikes". Hogwash...a salesman at work. Do these tweaks work? some do, most don't. Snake oil? maybe. I will say with 100 percent certainty "your wallet will be much lighter".

We all are after the "best sound " our systems can deliver. The waste of time and money goes on forever in the "pursuit of sonic nirvana. Doesn't that put a smile on your face?

As Moderator said "the base is made of solid MDF with a high gloss black painted premium finish. Also, the speaker should never be used without the base as it would be a tip over hazard ".

Thanks Anthem, that is what I thought.
I do not want to hurt anybody's feelings, nor say something bad about another company.
But my best guess is that if the Triton speakers could have been made better by a different base, or different spikes, etc. then they would have made them that way. I REALLY believe that Sandy and his team know what they are doing.

YES, I know that every speaker and product is made to a price point. And for added expense, things could be improved.
BUT when we are talking about small, inexpensive things a manufacturer could have done easily, cheaply, IF it would have helped their design, then I have to assume they would have done so.

All the above is just my humble opinion, my set of assumptions. But if someone wants to try something different, I say, go for it. And please report back. I am open to learning from anyone.
I have read on another forum over and over, ad nauseam, that all cables sound the same. They say, better cables are snake oil. Well, I have heard real, immediate, clear differences in sound when cables are changed. So much of an improvement that I bought me some decent MIT cables for my Tritons. No, I have not had a chance to even use them yet, so no report for awhile. Coming later.
I have learned over here in Asia, one man's snake oil, makes another man's stir fry.
Ha ha, Anthem, I threw that on in for you man!!!!!
Have fun guys,
Wayne
