While the Bordeaux does drop at the lighter weights, it not nearly as dramatic as I thought. Sorry I missed that. I've found IsoAcoustics to be quite responsive so drop them an email and see what they say. How that would translate to sound quality is anyone's guess (but if it were me, I think I'd always wonder ;-)
Yeah, my guy wouldn't ship me something if it were a completely idiotic move. There's quite a bit of pushback on my part before I make any purchase, and this has been the smallest of our transactions. I even suggested four when three were suggested initially as an alternative to a prior isolation. I'll drop IsoAcoustics a line, and if they tell me that I've made an error, I'll swap them out when I get a chance and post accordingly.
@mdconnelly is right...email [email protected]. I found him responsive and very helpful.
I didn't reach out to Sean directly, but may if I don't get a follow-up after a few emails were exchanged. The answer was essentially that there's a very, very slight advantage to the bronze, and I was referred to the chart posted on the site. That said, my Pinot Noir pucks seem to be doing the job. I'll have some extra headroom as well in case anyone wants to stand on my 140. No numbers indicating poorer performance. Just have the chart as reference.
