what's under your Parsifals?

I am enjoying a new pair of Parsifal Encores, using the standard brass cones that come w/ the speaker.

Wondering what you use under your Parsifal? some I've seen use the Stillpoint platform, some Symposium, but I'm also wondering if just changing out the standard brass spikes with something like the audiopoints will make a nice improvement? i'm looking for a cheap tweak now, with a plan to save for a better shelf or platform later...

thanks guys. john, have you used the HDLs? sounds like the platforms i should be saving for an updgrade is the replacement for the granite, not necessarily for the base of the speaker?

I am using Grand Prix Audio Apex Footers with my Ovations and they have made a significant positive impact over the stock spikes. The bass is where the most improvement has occurred (becoming much tighter and clearer).

Two platforms made of high-density fiberboard, then the spikes that came with the Ovations. I'm still dialing them in after one year. Lately, I've been trying the second of two configurations recommended by Julian, with the speakers farther apart. Bass is definitely improved with the speakers closer to the room corners.
