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.

It all depends; are you having trouble with your speakers sliding off the stands?

You've hit upon the decoupling/coupling discussion thats been taking place here. Some of us think that coupling isn't the best way to go, but if you want to try it out for yourself, just knead a small amount until it's soft and use a little dab in each corner.

Be warned that paint and bad veneer can remain stuck to the blu tack after long use. A friend gouged out divots of particle board from some cheap stands he had blu tack'd to.
