Audio Points between monitor and stand?

Speakers are EgglestonWorks Fontaines. The originals, which are two-piece: monitor and stand bolted together. I am curious about small brass feet/spikes which drain vibrations from audio gear (Audio Points from Star Sound Technologies) placed between the monitors and stands. (I’ve witnessed their products in action on another’s system, though different application – thus my positive interest. ) Star Sound recommends me placing three of their small points (approximate diameter = one dime; height = three dimes) between my monitors and their stands.

1. Has anyone done this with Audio Points or other product on their Fontaines or other speaker/stand combo?

2. Any reason why I should not try this with my specific speakers?

Thank you

Thank you Ray and Krell for your replies.

Thank you Ray for that most kind offer. I am considering several of his products, any of which I can return if not satisfied. So i'll be ordering the small ones to try on my mains, along with other larger ones for other gear.

Krell - good idea. I will use the bolts to keep the speakers in place, just won't tighten them down too much.

Has anyone seen my monitors on their stands? Not typical stands. If unfamiliar with the Fontaines, please see my system for reference. I have more of a concern placing anything between my monitors and their stands, designed to fit as one piece, more like a floorstander. Were they typical monitor/stand combination I would not be so concerned.

Thank you for your reply Roxy54. I've heard the SP101 in action on a friend's speakers - remarkable. They are my long term goal to afford. But in the mean time, Robert suggested the tiny points between monitors and stands. My concern is that the monitors already fit tightly on the stands with no gap whatsoever. The stands are considered "integrated" with the monitors and are useful with bass extension. My concern is, by inserting points (effectively spacers), will I lose the stands' integration effectiveness?
