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.
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!
