Audio Points between monitor and stand?

Speakers are EgglestonWorks Fontaines. The originals, which are two-piece: monitor and stand bolted together. I am curious about small brass feet/spikes which drain vibrations from audio gear (Audio Points from Star Sound Technologies) placed between the monitors and stands. (I’ve witnessed their products in action on another’s system, though different application – thus my positive interest. ) Star Sound recommends me placing three of their small points (approximate diameter = one dime; height = three dimes) between my monitors and their stands.

1. Has anyone done this with Audio Points or other product on their Fontaines or other speaker/stand combo?

2. Any reason why I should not try this with my specific speakers?

Thank you

Mike,

I can't honestly say that I noticed anything that I can comment on.

Remember, spiking the speakers does two things. First, it couples the speaker to the stand which hopefully is coupled to the floor. The second, the speaker is being raised the height of the spike changing the speaker to your ear, and in essence the sound.

In your instance with your wooden speaker stands, what you'd be doing is in effect, the same thing as placing a component on Mapleshade footers on one of their Samson platforms. That's a good thing and definitely worth trying to see if you like it.
