Audio Points between monitor and stand?

The Star Sound Technologies SP101 speaker platforms trasformed the performance of my floorstanding speakers. I would give it a try.

Thank you for your reply Roxy54. I've heard the SP101 in action on a friend's speakers - remarkable. They are my long term goal to afford. But in the mean time, Robert suggested the tiny points between monitors and stands. My concern is that the monitors already fit tightly on the stands with no gap whatsoever. The stands are considered "integrated" with the monitors and are useful with bass extension. My concern is, by inserting points (effectively spacers), will I lose the stands' integration effectiveness?

I have Carravelle speakers,the stands were made with Star Sound points.I have
several of the small threadless points and disc.I am not using at the moment,If
you would like to try them and send them back in a month or so,let me
know.Someone let me borrow a few of them once,so I can do the same.If not no
problem.They have made a positive diff in what ever I have used them with.Ray

Try it, what have you got to lose? Just remember that if the speakers aren't directly coupled to the stands, you have two choices.

First, if you use the coupling discs to protect the stand, will the speaker walk on the stand, or is the speaker's mass great enough to keep this from happening? You don't want it walking.

Second, if you don't use the coupling disc to protect the stand so that the points dig into the stand and couple, is that okay with you?

I did this with my B&W Silver Signatures, but they were coupled to their slate stands with screws. I loosened the screws to allow the points and discs to do their thing and the screws prevented any walking.

I started with the small points too, but ended up with the 1" or 1.5" points before I stopped.

Also, are your speakers threaded and maybe your stands threaded where you could screw the points into the speakers and the coupling discs into the stands to get a better coupling? Look at my current setup, the points are screwed into the bottom of the speakers and the coupling discs are screwed into the top of the stands.

It might be worthwhile to take advantage of Ray's kind offer and borrow some points and discs to try.

Good luck!

I just reread your post and see that the speakers are bolted to the stands.

One possibility is like I did with my Silver Signatures, let the bolts hold the speakers in place while the points and coupling discs do the coupling.

The other might be to screw the points and the coupling discs into the threaded holes for the bolts, like my current setup.
