You are way overthinking this. Simple felt pads will work.
custom made speaker stand legtips - rubber or metal - not good vibration
I finally had my preferred speaker stands made but it came with a wooden "stick". as shown on the picture. I wanted to put an rubber tip to the end and to secure it, I put a screw in it. Now the screw is touching the floor. (Speakers: Dynaudio Evoke 20)
Questions:
- Should I recess the screw so that the "rubber touches the floor?
- Should I put something on the floor between the speaker leg tips and the floor (hardwood floor on concrete) - like a soft pad?
- Entirely a bad idea for both rubber and screw?

If the screw cannot be sufficiently recessed, then perhaps using an adhesive would be the answer. I go round and round with this sort of problem with chairs, but that turns out to be a user problem to begin with. Fortunately, once you the position for the speakers set, you will be done. I do like what was mentioned about a support 25% of the way down the legs. Someone who knows about telescopes has knowledge that nicely overlaps this topic. |
Cross bars… function entirely. My experience has always been ridged support of speakers is key. My experience with tripods has been poor. But over time, I have upgraded my telescopes and tripods to world class ones (another obsession is astronomy)… requiring extremely stable platforms… like audio. They go through extremes to stabilize tripods. The view gets better with increased stability, just like sound gets more focused. |
@ghdprentice do you have a photo of the tripods with crossbars? |
