Speaker to Stand Interface
« on: 12 Feb 2009, 11:50 pm »
I'm trying out a new set of stand mounted speakers that don't come with dedicated stands.

I'm wondering what speaker to stand interfaces (cones/spikes, roller balls, isolation mat/feet etc..) would
work best for coupling or decoupling the speakers to the stands?

At Merlin's recommendation I just used Blu-Tak between their TSM-MM's and Osiris metal stands (flat plates).  I wasn't keen on spiking a piano finish and this seemed to work well.  They even stayed put without problems.

You might want to look at Herbies stuff. I replaced blu-tak with some of his stuff and had much better results across the spectrum. He has a money back guarantee and Steve is a great guy to deal with. http://herbiesaudiolab.home.att.net/footers.htm

I'll second the Herbie's Audio Lab recommendation.  I'm using several of their products and think they make a subtle, yet meaningful difference - the low price and simplicity sweeten the deal.

I experimented with a bunch of interfaces. My favorite was Vibrapods and decoupling my monitors. Many improvements and no weaknesses. Been running this way for several years now.

stillpoints worked best for me. Tried a bunch of others first, but the stillpoints definitely were the best in my set-up

These.  Switched to them years ago (from squishy things) and have no interest in looking for something better.

Fact is, I doubt "better" exists as it pertains to my tastes and system, but that's JMO.
