Speakers and Stands. What do you use between them?

I tried a few different tweaks and got the best results with little tiny audiopoints. They are +/- 3/8" tall, three per monitor, two in the front and one in the back.

The detail resolution for my Talon Khites became razor sharp.

i used to use blue tack until i read that blue tack smears the sound. didn't realize this until i removed the blue tack. the article recommended using a piece of wood between the stands and speaker. i tried this and I noticed more detail and at first, a little leaner sounding. after playing multiple albums and cd's, I still get the full range sound just much more detailed.

The Wal-Mart stuff is in the stationary section and is for hanging posters and for keeping hung framed pictures level.

I go the other way. I use Aurios to decouple my Silverline monitors from my Osiris stands. It opens up the soundstage incredibly. There's no way to think why this should work, it just does - try it if you get the chance and see.

Sorbothane is ideal in my book. If it's done right, you can couple the speaker to the stand for low frequencies to get very tight bass, but isolate/damp the cabinet at higher frequencies (this is possible because the resonant frequency varies with strain). Cost is about $25 to buy a strip from mcmaster.com - item 3462K12 - and it just needs to be cut to size depending on the weight of the speaker. Several people on audioasylum and hometheatertalk have followed my suggestions and were very impressed with the results. Email me if you have any questions.
