Blu -Tack Under Bookshelf Speakers?


I heard that Blu-Tack is a good substance to put between bookshelf speakers and stands for absorbing resonance. How much would I need to use on a 8"w x 11"d speaker on a 8"x8" platform? Do similar substances like FunTac and Elmer's Tac n' Stick work the same? (I'm having some trouble tracking down the original.)

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I used about 20 of the sheets of the DEP type of blue tack under my 100lb near door sized Mothers on 2" thick concrete slabs (75lbs of concrete each)
Made those babies sound tighter.
Try it. if it doesn't sound better right off, removing the stuff right away will be safe. It's after it sets together for a long time that it may damage the finish or veneer.
You can buy a device that adheres to the speaker cabinet and will tune out the cabinet resonances. Unfortunately I can't find the catalog where I saw it (MCM I thought). Spend 15 minutes looking and can't *&!#$@%# find it, sorry.
Vibra-pods under speakers will absorb resonances. But the speaker will not be solidly mounted and there could be problems with imaging.
Everyone wants to have their speakers sound their best. If you use the smallest of the Audioponts in conjunction with the Apcd coupling discs you will achieve this goal..I have done this many times for friends..Tom

I used the Dep for two years on the same speakers (Reynaud Twins in cherry). There was no damage to the finish (I could not even tell where it had been once I removed the tack to resell the speakers).

However, I have not tried it on painted finishes or those with a plastic top coat.

Also, what are concrete Mother's (sound interesting)?
