Stillpoints under speakers - spikes or no spikes?
I was prompted to post this after reading a general thread regarding spikes or no spikes elsewhere on the forum.
Of the members using Stillpoints under speakers, usually in place of the manufacturer's feet / spikes, who is using spikes as well and not just the standard Stillpoint? I am likely to, (finally!), be buying some new speakers soon and I am unsure which way to go. I don't have anything under my current speakers, just open frame steel stands, so no help there. |
I replaced all my spiked feet with Stillpoints (no spikes) outstanding results!

Same - Stillpoints under speakers, but without spikes.

Same here. No spikes. Just still points. Sounds great, no damage to floor/carpet and allows me to more easily move speakers.

Do you think stillpoints would be an upgrade over the Totem claws that I'm using with my Arro's. My concrete floor is covered with under pad & Burberry carpet. Speaker is a bit wobbly due to the Totem's 3-claw arrangement (1 front, 2 at back). I wonder if 4 stillpoints would improve stability & sound? Cheers, Nick |

So if one is not using spikes, is the Ultra Base an improvement over none at all? I think most reviews have suggested that it is.
Since the Ultra SS is the same thread size on both ends, what is the most commonly preferred way to orient the Stillpoint on the speaker? |

If not using the Ultra Base, use the proper threaded adapter between the speaker and Ultra SS. If you are using the Ultra Base reverse direction of the Ultra SS, and thread it into the Ultra Base. In this configuration the speaker will rest on the threaded hi-hats of the Ultra SS feet. I use the latter on all my Subs achieving excellent results. |
