Stillpoints Ultra SS under your speakers?


Hi,

I'd like to hear anyone's experiences with replacing their speaker spikes with the Stillpoint Ultra SS isolation/vibration control devices. I did a search and found a few related threads, but I would like to hear more. I want to try them under my Merlin VSM-M's, and yes I know Bobby will strongly disapprove...
BTW, if it matters, my speakers are on a carpeted suspended wood floor.
Thanks!

Bol1972, so you are just using three under each speaker. Four are always better than three in my experience. But one needs to have height adjustability to do this.
I use 4 ofcourse. And also 4 SS under my subwoofer.

And the small one under my Olive 06HD.

The Ultra 6 I bought 4 for my Pass labs X350.5
By default I ended up with the Ultra SSs on the larger 3" stainless steel bases (can't remember what they're called). Jim Smith told me that the name of the game with my Duos is decoupling...not coupling them to my raised carpeted wooden floor. I decided to and did order the Grand Prix audio APEX footers but GP could not provide the specified thread pitch for the adapters so I went with the Stillpoints and pitched the brass spikes. The biggest inprovement for me was the large decrease in floor shake I experienced in going from massively coupled to the decoupled approach. Otherwise, there were marginal gains in low level detail , decay trails and intelligibilty.

Hope this helps.
