Stillpoints and reference-level speakers

For me I found Stillpoints SS worked well on heavy components (75 lb integrated in my case) and not so well on lighter components. I tried 3 and 4 SS's under my DAC and my transport; and I could barely tell a difference over some Stillpoints brass cones.... the SS's actually made the sound a tad dry and less involving. Wave Kinetics A10-U8's worked way better than either these; which is what I settled on. I had all three at the same time, so I was able to compare them directly. Also tried the SS under my speakers and they didn't work so well there either, but I blame my thick carpeting.

I put the Ultra V's under my Alexia's. I'd tell anyone that got reference speakers that the Stillpoints are mandatory!

Hi Crna39, the Alexia is a great speaker, and I'm sure a lot of effort went into the design of the stock Wilson footers. What differences did you hear with the Ultra V's?

39,

STillpoints are not mandatory under any speaker.

Psag, logically speaking, it does not make sense to pay money for a footer that is mid bass shy and then rely on EQ to correct it. Find the right footer or platform.
