Quadraspire speaker stands.

Posted by: Mike1951 on 27 June 2018

I've got a pair of Q6014's (not bamboo). The last thing they could be called is stiff.

I have them on a tiled floor with the spikes removed and substituted with bluetac. Similarly between the top plate and speakers (ATCSCM19).

I've been glancing speculatively in their direction lately and wondering if I might be better off with hollow-legged, sand-weighted metal-framed stands.

Any experience or knowledgeable advice, team?

If i remember rightly the original design concept of Quadraspire was to actually be 'wobbly' and to allow movement/vibrations to dissipate quickly. The trouble with speaker stands is that they form part of the speakers character. Changing to a solid sand/lead shot filled stand may or may not be better? You'd really have to try them. I might be tempted to put the spikes back on your stands and try some Naim chips or similar. They seem to interface really well with the stand and the floor making things a lot more integrated.

Now, THAT'S a thought. Thanks, G...
