Interfacing Speakers & Stands

I kind of have the ideal interface with my Soliloquy 5's. They are bolted directly to their custom built matching stands filled with kitty litter. All together they weigh about 75 lb per speaker/stand combo. This worked magic especially in bass articulation and image stability.

Thank you but NOT an option.

In my secondary system, I use Chicago stands which have threaded steel spikes to couple stand to the floor and speaker to stand. That is how they were meant to be used, and it sounds great.

In the last issue of Hi Fi+ they reviewed the Guru speaker from Sweden. The designer of that speaker disliked spikes and claimed the spikes amplified resonances and usually one peak resonance. Guru used some sort of soft squidgy feet.

Do you have the resources to try different methods and devices? Each, will have proponents and detractors. Find out what works best for you. The differences can be quite staggering.
