Hifisand, nice work with the Mye's and the Ulrra 5s... using the threaded screws to direct connect the Ultra 5s added quite an improvement on the 20.7s particularly in terms of the speaker's focus over just resting the points underneath.

Over a fair part of the last year I've experimented with sets of Ultra 5s, SS and minis under speakers and components in a range of systems from $30k to well over $500k and they invariably contribute a significant and fantastic effect but especially when used system wide to float the entire set-up... and as good as Ultra 5s can be under gear like amps and sources they really come in to their own and are often easily an order of magnitude more significant at the speakers end of the setup and as involving and real as Maggie's can ordinarily seem the Ultra 5s were particularly transformational under the 20.7s.
