Stillpoint component stand with Verity Parsifals

Albert, are you using the Stillpoint Ultra's direct to the carpet? I was considering a set of 4 of the Alum. model for my Parsifals but wonder if that would work direct on the carpet as opposed to carpet piercing spikes.

I'm not qualified to answer, I've always had my isolation products (Grand Prix, Stillpoints, etc) on a hard floor.

I suggest calling Paul at Stillpoints and ask his advice, no doubt this comes up every day for him. If you get an answer please post here so I and everyone else can read.

I did call Bruce, he is very helpful and a wealth of information. He recommends using the Ultra bases directly onto the carpet. He feels that there is little difference between floor types with the stillpoints as they are very effective in dissipating energy independent of the floor type. His first recommendation with be the ultra base directly onto the floor. The standard stillpoint would need an inverse riser otherwise the carpet would contact the stillpoint body and not the the wt. bearing center. I thought of another advantage of the ultra, it will make changes in positioning easier, which is very important in the Parsifal as I have found it sensitive to positioning. Guess I need to order some extra stillpoints.

Good luck with your venture Davt and thanks for passing on the comments and instructions from Bruce.

Symosium custom Svelte shelf works great between woofer and midrange tweeter.

Decided to forgo the stands and just ordered 8 x Stillpoints Ulta Aluminum. Let's see of good things will happen to my speakers.
