Sistrum under VonSchweikert VR-4JR

Is anybody using Sistrum plarforms under VSA VR-4JRs?
What model? Could you, please share your impressions.
I've been doing a lot of experimenting with various support systems ( Mapleshade cones, maple platforms, Herbie's footers and the combinations of the above).
Without going into much details, I should say, that the differencies are rather drastic and unexpected. The only thing I should state is, that I was much less concerned with this issue before I tried a few options.
I want to try Sistrum now, their concept "sounds" interesting.
Speakers are on carpet over concrete.

Ggil,
I have Herbie's Big Fat Black Dots under the M/T modules, and I think they make it sound more extended, without any harshness.
I'm more interested in support for the bass module for now.
Warrenh,
I already got audiopoints from Robert, but unfortunately my concrete floor is uneven, and I'm having hard time leveling speakers on 4 points.
That's why I want to try 3-point support system, like Sistrum.
Since my speakers are 20" deep and only 9.5" wide, I'm not sure which Sistrum model will work.

Theaudiotweak,
Appreciate your advice. I already removed lead from my speakers in favor of sand and possibly microbearing steel fill, and bought audiopoints.
Why shoud I ask Lrsky? Is he a dealer for Sistrum?

Cenline,
I hear you. The problem is, that only SP-004 will fit under VR-4JRs. (or two of them). SP-1 and 101 are too wide. Speaker is only 9.5" wide and 20" deep. Do you think one 004 is too small? It's only 13 " deep.

Cenline,
I actually meant to use SP-004 under the bottom unit.
I have audiopoints on the bottom now.

I thought so, SP-1 is too wide, and 101 is too expensive for now (it's half of my speakers full retail), but it could be a next step, if I like Sistrum enough.
Theaudiotweak,
I did contact Lrsky, and he vouched for Sistrum and Microbearing Steel fill instead of sand, or lead for the speakers

I'll try, and will report my findings.
