I also use Ultra Bases along with Ultra SS's under my Sophia 3 speakers. I choose to use them because it improves the stability of the speaker with the wider base ( I have small children) and I like the extra bit of speaker height. my dealer advised me that they also provide a nominal amount of additional isolation to boot. I did not compare to "naked" SS to assess any sonic improvement.
