Blu -Tack Under Bookshelf Speakers?

It all depends; are you having trouble with your speakers sliding off the stands?

You've hit upon the decoupling/coupling discussion thats been taking place here. Some of us think that coupling isn't the best way to go, but if you want to try it out for yourself, just knead a small amount until it's soft and use a little dab in each corner.

Be warned that paint and bad veneer can remain stuck to the blu tack after long use. A friend gouged out divots of particle board from some cheap stands he had blu tack'd to.

The bumpy, no-skid rubber sheeting sold at hardware stores works nicely.

If your speakers are rocking and rolling on their stands or bookshelves, blu tack is only going to hide the problem. Your speakers may not be all over the place after you glue them to whatever, buy all the reasons for that rock'n and rolling are remaining within your speakers. You want all that nasty resonance to go to mother earth. I'm a coupler, obviously. Place (3) 1 1/2" cones (i use audiopoints) under your speakers and the same under your stands. Bookshelf speakers don't belong, (anyway), on a shelf. Unless, of course, you want to kill your sound. peace, warren
