Sistrum under VonSchweikert VR-4JR

Is anybody using Sistrum plarforms under VSA VR-4JRs?
What model? Could you, please share your impressions.
I've been doing a lot of experimenting with various support systems ( Mapleshade cones, maple platforms, Herbie's footers and the combinations of the above).
Without going into much details, I should say, that the differencies are rather drastic and unexpected. The only thing I should state is, that I was much less concerned with this issue before I tried a few options.
I want to try Sistrum now, their concept "sounds" interesting.
Speakers are on carpet over concrete.

They are great. yes,I still have both.
I agree that it is possible to elevate out of the zone with some speakers.
But, the Von Schweikert are made to shoot up and away from direct impact, so this should not matter with them.
With the Soundcity outriggers you can also point the speakers down or up.
I have mine level however.

Theaudiotweak,
Appreciate your advice. I already removed lead from my speakers in favor of sand and possibly microbearing steel fill, and bought audiopoints.
Why shoud I ask Lrsky? Is he a dealer for Sistrum?

If you want to do what I did with the Paragons,you will hear a substantial improvement across the audio spectrum.You may view my virtual system and you will see sistrum 101 under the subs and sp0004 under the monitors.If you think that the vr4 's sound good now! Just wait until they get supercharged by the Sistrum. What the stands do for audio is truly a fundemental improvement-Cheers Dennis

No Larry is not a dealer. He does however have much experience with those speakers...lead shot and other fill...and the benefits of no fill and proper grounding. Tom

Cenline,
I hear you. The problem is, that only SP-004 will fit under VR-4JRs. (or two of them). SP-1 and 101 are too wide. Speaker is only 9.5" wide and 20" deep. Do you think one 004 is too small? It's only 13 " deep.
