Speaker Stands adapters for Heavy Speakers?

Thanks for feedback. I am planning on using blu-tak. It sounds as though it holds well enough to secure the speakers. Thanks for the suggestion about the lead, I think I will try that as well.

This is an interesting topic - Roy, the designer of Green Mountain recommends Blu-tak to decrease resonance from the stands. Green Mountain's cabinets are made from Q-stone and have low resonance.
I also found this article http://www.stereophile.com/features/806/index5.html
that measures the effects of using blu - tak vs cones. I can feel some vibration from the stands so am currently getting some resonance from them, though I don't know what frequency range.

I am getting an SPL gauge and test CD to measure frequency response. Sounds like I need to experiment with some options and try to figure out what the impact is. My current speakers and room already exhibit some hot spots in the mid-range that I would like to eliminate

Roy,

Thanks for your response. I did contact you recently about the grill cloth and you gave me some additional testing ideas.

I hope everyone on this forum realizes how involved you are in the community and how much time and energy you put into supporting your users. I am definitely becoming a customer for life!

Per your other email - I am going to take some measurements close up using one speaker at a time to see if I can pinpoint room effects. The speakers still sound amazing, but as a bass player, I want to make sure I get all that I can out of them. I will update on my results. I am planning on using the 1 Hz test tones available from realtraps.com.
