Recently, I experimented to see how different footers between my monitors and their Sound Anchor stands would affect the sound. Sure enough, they responded to the tweaks just like any other component. The monitors can easily be knocked over but I’m careful around them.
Securing Monitors to a stand
I just got done with my latest DIY project, building Speaker monitors.
They are bigger and heavier than most standard size monitors and though the stands that are used are solid and the speakers sit on them firmly, a good bump may topple them.
I am presently using Herbies Big Fat Dots under the speakers, but they don’t really anchor the speakers to the stand. Blue Tack can be used but, wouldn’t hold much. I thought of using mirror clips with padding but that would involve drilling holes in the bottom of the speakers.
Anyone have a better idea?
Thanks,
ozzy

Re: footers I tried several of the usual suspects: Blu Tak, Mapleshade Triple Points, Audio Points .2AP.7D, upside down Symposium Rollerblocks on Symposium Point Pods (very nice), etc. Each had its own nuanced flavor. I’ve read good things about Stillpoints - but haven’t tried them. My preference is 1st row with detail and dynamics. Part of the equation was getting the tweeter to my ear level when in my chair. I ended up with using 1/2 of an upside down Symposium Rollerblock Jr clamshell w/tungsten ball. Living in Southern California, it’s interesting to watch the monitors rock & roll - literally - during an earthquake. |
