Securing Monitors to a stand

I just got done with my latest DIY project, building Speaker monitors.

They are bigger and heavier than most standard size monitors and though the stands that are used are solid and the speakers sit on them firmly, a good bump may topple them.

I am presently using Herbies Big Fat Dots under the speakers, but they don’t really anchor the speakers to the stand. Blue Tack can be used but, wouldn’t hold much. I thought of using mirror clips with padding but that would involve drilling holes in the bottom of the speakers.

Anyone have a better idea?

Thanks,

Admire your project ozzy...just got done with the herbies myself and found they werent my solution either...did get sticky one side and they didnt move when adjusting though...

I went back to the sorbethane dots that came with (sound anchors) stand...they do grab for some sticky ness as well as being tight to stand for nice transmission between the speak/stand...i did use talc on top so i could move the dam things into position so...what are you going to do...the sorbies are cheap enough not to sweat it huh?

No evidence of residue on mine...Nothing dead about the way my speaker and stand sound...in fact there really isn't any evidence of a tone that sorbethane makes...just plain works,no mumbo jumbo...has some tack to it (that is what oz was looking for I think)...My ears recommend what i hear...
