When I first got these particular speakers I had them on some temporary spike protectors that were not as hard as the brass that I now use.
Switching to the brass made an audible difference - so for these speakers at least, eliminating all movement is best.
When I tried the three point with two point at the front or rear the speaker was very easily rocked. So much so that I did not even try listening to music.
One last config was to try placing the two feet on one side and placing the third foot directly under the CoG line on the opposite side. This was more stable than the other config, but the 4 point solution is still the best.
Other speakers might benefit from three feet if their centre of gravity is more toward the front or back, but these just proved too unstable.
A friend has a pair of Reference 3A Veena's and their CoG is very nearly over the back feet, making their 3 point system very stable.
A good outrigger design will allow for easy adjustment when necessary
Soundocity an Galen Carol look to have some pretty robust products - if anyone knows of any others I'd really appreciate knowing about them.
Thanks
