Isolation footers for ATC SCM100A

I just purchased a used pair of ATC 100A speakers, and they come with the manufacturer’s iron OEM stands.  On my current pair of ATC 40 towers, I’m using Herbie’s threaded Stud Glider footers for decoupling.

I’m considering using the Stud Gliders with the 100s, tapping thread holes into the stand bottoms, and perhaps also employing sorbothane pads where the speakers contact the stands.

Does that sound like a reasonable approach?  Or would there be an alternate way to use the Herbie’s footers?  Any advice welcome.

Thanks,

JAMES

Congrats on some very nice speakers!  You might try these — they’re a bit more expensive than Herbies Gliders but still very reasonable and are probably more effective and maybe significantly so.  A member here tried them and found they made a big improvement on his speakers.

Here’s an interesting review with them compared to several other options and some much more pricey.

If you’re open to spending more then Townshend Seismic Podiums are well worth a look and wouldn’t require tapping holes into your stands, and I believe they offer a trial period.  Hope this helps, and best of luck.
