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.

The caveat though is that this may not be much of an issue. It depends I think on room materials and structure and on the speaker itself -- some speakers cabinets are massive and well damped, some are resonant and could use help. So hard to know how much of an audible improvement (if any) it will make.

Finally, Jim Smith recently made a good point -- if you have to experiment with speaker placement to get the best results, or if you have WAF compromises that mean you would get better sound if you pulled the speakers out for serious listening, furniture glides will give you more of an improvement than spikes and the like.
