Stillpoints Ultra SS under your speakers?

I tried them under my Avantgarde Duo Omega G2. They increase detail, tighten up bass and make sound stage more "precise".
I cannot comment on if my experience with Avantgarde will translate exactly to your Merlins.
I wonder, why do you think Bobby Palkovich would disapprove?

Thanks for your response. I know that the only way to really find out is to just put them on and see.
I've had many conversations with Bobby in the past and have found him to be very helpful and knowledgeable. He also knows what works best for his speakers, and in my experience takes a rather dim view of deviating from the norm (no disrespect Bobby!).
I have the Stillpoints Ultra SS on order (they're pricey!), and will check them out. If there is not a noticeable improvement, I'll go back to the spikes and try the Stillpoints under the Vac Sigma 160I amp.

Stillpoints Ultra SS isn't just another tweek its a necessity. I have them under my speakers. I had Walker Audio Point's....One of the better cones out there. They don't compare to the Ultra's. I can't wait to pick up a few more for cd and amp.

Thanks Heinrich. I'm looking forward to installing and evaluating the Stillpoints. I know you are already a believer!

And Stillpoints Ultra 5s are probably still better, under any speakers.
