I've a confession to make don't tell my wife

I totally agree with Chazzbo, after having had 2 different sets of speakers on Sound Anchors. I had them make custom cradle stands for my Alon V's, and the additional mass and 3 point support system bettered the focus of the speaker and tightened the bass. I can't imagine how you would lose high end extension by using these stands, as they significantly improved both my B&W M803's and my Alon V MkII's. I use the spikes on Sound Anchor's "cone coasters," which are quite heavy and have a pad of sorts on the bottom. That makes it very easy to slide them into a better listening position on my hardwood floors. As an aside, I also tried audio points on the 803's, and thought the Sound Anchors were better in several areas, specifically due to the additional mass, and the 3 point (instead of 4 point) loading. As a final benefit, they protect the base of the speaker from vacuums, kicking feet, and other domestic hazards. Highly recommended! - Tim

And if you think that points improve the sound of speakers, try using Aurios isolation bearings under them and you'll never go back to any kind of cones again!

Don't forget about the idea of coupling your entire system. You've got nothing to lose. Audiopoints?- don't like 'em? Send them back for a refund. Can't beat that. You won't return 'em. Your tympanics are going to tingle. peace, warren

Mitch: Did you try audiopoints under the Sound Anchors or just under the 803? I am a fan of both Sound Anchors and audiopoints, but I haven't tried them together. Anyone?

test your speakers using several different brands of cones the differences can be drastic had Mirage M1 Si speakers one brand sounded absolutely great the others sounded terrible I couldn't believe how much different they could sound. So experiment.
