The IsoPucks seem like the perfect solution.
They feature a suction cup top/bottom design to help stabilize the center on a tilted stand...plus you get vibration benefits.

The ISO-Pucks I ordered are the Middle ones they offer.
From what I read on their site they say go to next level up for the weight of what you need.

They will be here soon.

audiogear,

Before you see the below information.

I have heard back from Charles (Owner) of

Charles and his (Senior Technician) Jason on the right in my Dedicated-Home-Theater discussing the situation.

Hi Terry,
I have read the reviews and specs on the speaker all of which sounds good.
I also have reached out to our suppler for availability and will let you know when I hear back as they are running short handed through the Holiday’s.
Charles
Ain't gonna be as long now and the Bad-Boy will be installed and once again I will be loving my H/T !!! ...............




Look what just arrived a few minutes ago.

I just tried these out on my computer desk and when I say they {STICK} believe me that's a FACT guys.
Sweetwater is a 1st Class Company.
I received a cellphone call from Pat Walsh Sales/Engineer to make sure I had ordered the correct item.
Now, guys, when the heck has any of us recently experienced that sort of Follow-Up from ANY-COMPANY ???
As it turned-out I originally placed an order for two (2) sets of the ISO PUCKS.

(1) One was for the largest set named something like ISO PUCK 76 and those are for Heavy Applications as each 76 ISO PUCK handles 40-Lbs.

(2) The 2nd set I ordered was the Medium ISO PUCK that is rated at 20Lbs each I will be using four (4) for a total capacity of 80Lbs.

After talking with Pat all I really need are the ISO Puck as the incoming Focal Sopra center-channel speaker weighs 41.8 Lbs approximately.

Below I'm going to share with you what just arrived from Sweetwater.
