Harbeth C7 Decoupling - Sound Anchor Blue Dot?

I got a pair of 19" Sound Anchor 3-post stands for my Harbeth. They came with the original Blue Dots, which felt a bit tacky. If I placed the speakers directly on the dots, will it pear off the bottom veneer when separate them?

For now I'm using "Shepherd surface guard/felt" between speakers and stand top. Not as solid as Blue Dots but not tacky either.

How about Herbie's Big Fat Dots? Tacky or not? Are then as solid-holding as SA Blue Dots?

Also what about spikes plate for hardwood floor? Sound Anchor has one costs $16 each!!! Herbies costs the same. For now I'm using self-made ones with a quarter on top and the sticky felt on bottom. Not very stable biz of the 3/16 inch thick felt.

Any other material you can recommend? Thanks.

I would very surprised if the veneeer from a Harbeth came off due to the blue dots. I have used blue tack many, many years ago and no problems whatsoever. I presume blue dots are something similar.

In any event, you can use blue tack if you like...any hardware store. but again, i would be surprised if anything happened. The worst, might be a slight discoloration due to oils in the blue dots...but i am merely speculating here. And that would still take years to occur...and further, its on the bottom of the speaker.

Good luck...you could also email Harbeth...i imagine they would definitely have a good answer for you.
