Hi all, I am seeking recommendations through your experience as to what stands and platforms have worked well for the S500/M500. Do you also replace the stock Viton footers with other brands ?
Thanks
Mine sits on a Solidsteel Hyperspike HY Amp Stand A. Fits great. I left the stock feet.

stock feet and custom rack to match the MSB colour

I see the MSB amp can sit on either 3 or 4 footers. I presume that the 4-footer configuration is more desirable. Interestingly in the 3-footer configuration, the third one at the back is positioned close to the middle of the amp.. rather than to the edge of the back.
The 3 foot configuration allows the amp to be placed on shorter racks or stands. The third foot is moved forward as most of the weight is by the front of the amplifier. The front of the amp contains the two massive transformers. So this configuration actually balances the overall weight nicely.
I prefer the 4 foot configuration for stability and stance however. This option is purely for convenience of setup.

Hope to get more suggestions on what amp stands have worked well for S500/M500. Thanks in advance.
I have stands for my amps, but they are there because 1. Aesthetics, 2. I just don’t like electronics directly on the floor and will avoid it whenever I can. They aren’t quite done yet… they need a little touch-up and have the finish applied, and get their front faces attached. But at least they are wood so the will absorb at least a little of the vibration in the floor, though that is not their intent.
