Isolation pads for the speaker stands

If you have the time and patience,try changing the amount of sand filled in the stands..I have found ( using Skylan Speaker stands ) that the amount of fill required for best sonics in fillable stands has a lot to do with Speaker cabinet construction..Thin wall speaker cabinets react much differently than thick wall speaker cabinets..Sonics can change considerably ( good and bad ) from the amount of fill in Stands.....I ended up filling only 1/3 of stands.....

I put some Vibrapods under my Silverline Preludes not really expecting anything (I mean really...I've been spiking speakers into floors for decades...wasn't I supposed to?) and I'm amazed at how well that works. Highly recommended as a really cheap tweek...I guess it has something to do with keeping energy out of the floor where my sub lives (the sub remains podless).

THORMAN
Thanks for help. I also have Skylan stands and Carbon 7
speakers with the thick walls. I will try today to remove
sand from the columns.

I would try removing the pads, giving a hard coupling between the speaker and the stand. Small spikes, wood buttons, etc. Anything that isn't squishy may firm up the sound.

O.K. I removed the sand, left approximately 1/3 and the sound
improved (no heavy bass). I will also replace dots with
softer bumpers.
GUY'S, YOU ARE GREAT. MANY THANKS TO ALL OF YOU AND
MERRY CHRISTMAS
