For those of you supporting heavy speakers on springs, do you recommend stiffer or more moderate spring support? In other words, how does the supported combined speaker/stand weight compare to the total available spring loading capacity....something moderate like 50% or something less (i.e., stiffer springs)?
In my recent trial, I believe the spring capacity that I used was too light, which allowed more side-to-side sway and less overall stability that I was not comfortable with. That may be ok for stationary equipment such as amplifiers but I believe stiffer spring support is necessary for large/tall speakers. Also, at what point are the springs too stiff where they are acting more as a rigid support and less as a decoupler? What are your experiences?
