Footers under my speakers double the perceived value of my speakers!


My first experience with putting footers under my speakers was with Tannoy Westminster Royals.
With some difficulty, I put Mapleshade heavy footers under them. I was amazed. These $20k speakers, all of a sudden, became $30+ speakers! These days, I am into Stillpoints. Same thing-even more. My $30k speakers now sound like $60k speakers. I mean the imaging, the definition, the bass and everything just sounds fantastically Improved. I just put on the Stillpoints yesterday. This morning I jumped out of bed early just to be able to turn on the stereo and be floored. BTW- my speakers are 200 lbs and the Stillpoints Minis are strong enough. Pretty cheap for such an improvement!

I experience MAJOR sonic differences with footers, of all types, under speakers, and, the equipment. I also experience benefits with break in times, generally, the longer the better. I do not need a reviewer, or anyone, to tell me what I hear, or why I am hearing it. I trust my own ears....always have. Enjoy !
"Is "insipid" the word of the day?"

Apparently. And it was a misuse at that.  
Correct use of the word which expresses my displeasure with such methods failing my Law of Efficacy. 
If I wished to express that I thought there was no benefit to stands I would have chosen a word such as ineffectual. My point is not that such devices do nothing, but that they do nothing much that could be accomplished more economically, and do not much compared to working within the power and signal paths. 


It makes sense to couple speakers to a solid slab, and isolate them from a resonate floor. Every situation is a bit different.

Spikes through the carpet to a concrete floor made a pretty notable improvement with several different speakers in my old room. Now that I have a carpeted plywood floor with joists under it, I’m hearing more floor resonance, and need to experiment with isolation or even shoring up the joists underneath.
