Stillpoints and reference-level speakers

I haven't tried Stillpoints under speakers but I found them undesirable under source components. I bought a trio of Ultra SS and tried them sequentially under my Brinkmann Oasis, VAC Phi Beta preamp, and Manley Steelhead II. In each case, I found them to create a lot of air and additional separation of instruments, which was good, but at the expense of mid-bass weight and overall tonal balance, which was not so good. Ultimately, I found my system more balanced and natural without them. Actually, that's true of any footers I've tried and I've tried a lot of them.

For context, I have Adona stands with their multi-element shelving, and I use a Minus-K platform under the Brinkmann. Without the Minus-K, I might have liked the Stillpoints more under the Oasis, but I can't say for sure. I know Jay Kaufmann at Audio Revelation loves them under his.

I had the 101's under a previous speaker with great results in sound. Unfortunately one speaker was damaged due to the less than ideal support. Ya, it tipped over!

I won't take that chance again. To bad.

Perhaps holes can be drilled so I can bolt the stand to the holes in the speaker's bottom. This may change the sound and effectiveness however...

Bill I understand. It`s just me and my wife now(the kids have moved on) and the speakers are in a dedicated room,so the risk is lower than in the past.I`m sure Star Sound can offer reasonable suggestions for you.
Charles,

My kids are out also Charles... I knocked it over by brushing into the speaker and not that hard really. My fault! I am the problem it seems....

Bill, What speakers do you currently have? Tom
