Excellent! I wonder if @Adam.Meredith is able to share the specs / measurements from the SL2 Sub Table design?
What are your SL2s sited on at the moment Dave?
I also used Mana stands under my SL2. Actually I think I have still somewhere.
Highly recommended!

How long are the spikes on them?
Are these mana stands under your Kudos?
That should be fine so long as it’s nice & solid. Not sure what you’d gain from adding another layer between the speaker spikes and the floor. I guess if you can get a platform made up cheap enough it’s probably worth the experiment.
And Titanium…
My SBL’s which are practically the same as SL2’s for the purpose of your post. Placed on a suspended wooden floor with thin commercial office carpet.
I use RS Acoustics 400x400x2cm granite plinth/base with Linn Skeets on top then Mana Sound Bases (size 1) then the SBL’s.
If I’m honest I haven’t done a lot of comparison but a lot of the reviews at the time were very favourable for the Mana Sound Bases.
Hi Rack - absolutely. Mine are fine and solid as is. It was really an idea for Jim.
If the SL2 sub tables were available I’d probably be intrigued to try them but I certainly don’t need them!
True that and we all need a project/distraction/diversion during this lockdown!

This will solve your issues!!
Yes they are Expensive!
Just go get a demo/try them at home as you get a full refund on their return.
But I gurantee once you try them, Then remove them^^ I doubt very much you will want to return as you will be so shocked you will put them back.
Trust Me!!
Talk to the chaps at C-Company.
The SL2’s are fantastic resonant free flambouyant Radiators…
SM7 if you really want to hear them Sing.
What are you Scared off?
What have you got to lose by giving them a home demo.
Just to be clear Jazz I have absolutely no need or desire to put my SL2s on any of these miracle silent mounting things! The speakers are correctly set up and sound fantastic.
This is interesting reading since I find I need to raise my Dynaudio’s. my speakers on the Dynaudio stands are about 4” 10cm to low. Tweeters should be at ear level when seated. So I’m going to buy 3” thick solid Black Walnut platforms. My carpet with underlay is about 1” or 25mm thick, stands have about 30mm of adjustment. Initially I’m going to try to just put the platforms on the carpet without any spikes if it’s not stable enough I’ll add spikes. Concrete floor under the carpet.
Why not a Mana Sound Base?
Thin hard carpet may be the to your success.
I’ll look into the Mana Base. Changing the carpet is a total non starter, it’s an open floor plan, carpet runs through 3 rooms and is about 1500sq feet or about 140 sq meters.
One option is to cut out a space in the carpet and install a solid floor hifi area there.
@anon77199223… Seriously dude, I’ll run that by the wife, you must be single. Hahaha BTW, the floor is already Concrete.
As for the Mana base they’re out of business, and I’m not a fan of glass shelves.
You really need to update your thinking. It’s no good saying that you are happy with what you have and that it sounds great. You really should be getting some Silent Mounts or IsoAcoustics Gaias. The Silent Mounts are a bit out of my budget so I’m using four Spontex heavy duty pan scourers under each of my SL2s and they are so much better. I’m baffled as to why Naim didn’t include them in the original design.
