Speakers slipping on speaker stands

I find that my speakers slip around a bit more than I'm comfortable with on the platform of my speaker stands. Is there anything I can do to make the placement more secure, without doing anything permanent to my speakers or stands? They haven't really come close to falling off but they do slide around and spin a bit when I touch them.

Any advice?

Another option might be weatherstripping. You have the choices of different thicknesses and densities. I've used it for years.

Grip It shelf liner would work great for this. This is a link to an E-Bay auction so you have an idea of what it is, but you can find it at many grocery stores, Target, Walmart, etc., and it comes in several colors. It just lies on the flat surface without adhesive, and it's rubberized so it prevents slipping.

A little unsightly, but here in shaky California a must:

I use black bungie straps from the top of the speakers to under the stand's platform to hold down my speakers to their stands.

I second weather stripping..cheap and available at your nearest "true value", use that for now to get them stable and tweak later

Out of all these suggestions, I agree with the Blu-tack. This works amazingly well. It is often difficult for me to get the speaker off if it has been sitting on it for a while. Try Fun tack or similiar putty product. Any office supply or drugstore carries it for less than 2 bucks.
