LS50 and Big Fat Dots

I have a pair of LS50s placed at the ends of a credenza and don't have room to place them on stands.

I have been using those time rubber feet that came with the speakers bur was wondering if using something like Herbies Big Fat Dots would make any perceptible improvement in the sound.

Actually they are sound pretty good powered by a NAD D7050. The credenza is very sturdy made of real wood, but when I put my hand on it I still sense some vibrations. Perhaps this vibration may be muddied the sound in some way. I'm frankly not sure because I'm not sure what would be the best performance of the speakers and amplification. What kind of improvement should I expect it it does work?

On a final note, I thought about the big fat dots because they seem to be very non-descript and will not affect the decor of the living room.

Does anyone has any experience with this product and can give some information?

Lowrider57, Thanks for your answers and yes, I do realize that the Dots will replace the original feet of the speaker. My expectation is that it will help to improve the bass. Should I expect other improvements too?

I will give them a try. If it does some damage to the sound I can always go back to the original feet that came with the speakers.

Well, I ordered the Dots and will let you know my impressions at some point next week.

Well, the dots arrived and in my view they really make a difference. I'm not good with the audiophile jargon, but the sound seems to be much cleaner and detailed, while the bass lost it boominess without losing impact. I don't know if they work as well in all situations but in my setup (with the speakers on a credenza-like piece) they are a real improvement.

And what is amazing is that I hadn't realized that the boominess was there in the first place. The bass sounded clean to me...
