Best treatment for speaker feet????

Spikes I suppose.

My large OHM 5 floorstanders use locking castors, which works very well given the pyramidal form but is not practical for many tall rectangular floorstanders probably. Castors also facilitate easy movement and tweaking of placement as needed.

I would also consider contacting Herbie's Audio. They're not extremely expensive and they have a nice wide variety of solutions. If something doesn't work for you, they would take it back in trade for something else to try. Most importantly, if you tell them your situation, they will provide answers backed by a warranty. I'm about to place and order for Big Fat Dots to put my monitor stands on.

Nice to see you on Agon Jaxwired.

Hey Don,

I've used herbies dots myself for stand mounted speakers. Work great! I also like plain old museum putty for that.

I am going to try outriggers as a solution. I'm willing to spend $200, but not $800. I'm placing and order with loudspeakerstands . net today.

Now I've got to find the right bolts. Off to home depot...

My preference for my room/speakers...
(flooring is padded carpeting over poured cement basement floor)
18" x 18" Travertine tile, 2" thick maple plinth from Timber Nation on that, then Totem Ball & Claw supporting Totem Forests on the maple plinth.

Ball & Claw being sort of unique to Totem, I'd go w/spikes in their place.

I didn't like the sound when using rubbery sort of stuff under the speakers.

Try making a platform of cinder blocks. They are cheap and might really improve things. I would also put spikes under the speakers. I am using Vandersteen 5A's that come with spikes. In my last home in New Jersey, my listening room was on the second floor the flooring itself was oak. When I moved to Scottsdale, Arizona with Travertine tile floors and no basement, the speakers sounded so much better, I couldn't believe the difference. My other suggestion is to move.
