RE: "New" Quads and Stands

> Stone bass or something similar would be ideal. You have two goals here: To isolate the speaker from the building structure to prevent the transmission of low frequency vibration, and to add mass (in effect) to the baffle or enclosure with the same purpose. So a massive base is ideal.

Interesting but why should a building be vibrating? My own building sways in high winds, but that's at about 1Hz per 5 seconds! Unless I have neighbours with jack hammers, or washing machines spinning, I can't see how building vibrations can adversely affect my speakers. I was under the impression it was the other way round. Spikes were promoted to take vibrations from the speaker cabinet and use the solidity of the floor and thence the building to absorb these vibrations. That's what led me to query the alternative use of absorbers instead of spikes. Curious and curiouser!
