Despite that information being out there, some seem to suggest attaching the speaker adapter to the wide end (bottom) of the Stillpoint Ultra SS, and orienting it hard hat (tapered side) down. Obviously I have little choice but to use this type of orientation with Ultra 5's when I try those. The question that I don't have an answer to is what purpose the hard hat would serve if it's attached to the wider end of the Stillpoint, and used as the point of contact with the floor. It no longer serves to isolate the speaker or component from the technology pocket. The best answer I come up with is for leveling purposes of the speaker, perhaps. Otherwise I see the hard hat on the wide end of the Stillpoint Ultra SS as an area of possible instability. Presently, I use the speaker adapters and spikes on the Ultra SS's (as pictured below), but I'm not crazy about the spikes stability on my floors, so I'm considering the Ultra 5's or using the Ultra SS's in a different orientation. Whether or not to use the outriggers or attach directly to the bottom of the speaker is whole different issue. My gut says the outriggers on these speakers don't help the sound when using Stillpoints. I'll play around with that after I decide which works best on outriggers.
