Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Should I screw my speakers tightly to the stands?

209.138.59.132

I'm getting ready to purchase some new speaker stands - the Studio Tech SC 24. A stand with 4 massive sandfillable colums.

I know a lot of people use blue tacks between stand and speaker.
However, I'm trying to figure out how my mini monitors will best benefit from this rigid stand.

If I use the rubber feet that come with the stand - the speaker can still move back and forth as the cones set the speaker cabinet into motion.

With my old stands I have used 3 spikes unter the speaker and loosly screwed the speaker to the stand for safty reasons.

There are a few options I'm considering:
- Setting the speaker just on top of the little rubberfeet, that come with the stand.
- Setting the speaker just on top of the blue tack
- Using the 3 cones between the stand and the speaker
- Setting the speaker on top of the little rubbetrfeet, that come with the stand and than tightly screw the speakers to the stand.
- Setting the speaker just on top of the blue tack and screwing them tightly to the stand.
- Using the 3 cones between the stand and the speaker and than screwing the speakers tightly to the stand.

What is you ropinion or recommendation?
Thanks
