Best location for isolation cones.


Just got 4 sets of Dayton Audio Black Chrome Isolation cones delivered yesterday.

Due to the space constraints on my rack, i couldnty put em under the gear like i had intended, instead i put them beneath each subwoofer which gives righter more defined bass.
However, i also put a set beneath each speaker stand. I also have a new rack.

The imaging seems to have suffered a bit. Are isolation cones beneath speaker stands a bad way to go? Seems the imaging was a little bit better before i put them into play, but with the new rack i just put in im not entirely positive which is giving me a hard time

Ive never used these before so i dont know if there any big NO-NOs associated with such a thing.

Any advice?

oh yah, also, the rack is wood, so it can definatly be modified. Im certainly not afraid to grab the saw-all and go to town. LOL
TWL, Diddnt expect a whole lot. LOL

well, on the speakers i see 2 ways of connecting them

the first method which im currently using is to use the supplied foam sticky things between the cone and speaker.

The 2nd method would be to ditch that sticky foam thing and unscrew the cones and take the top part with the threaded post through the speaker stand then screw the bottom of the cone into the remainder of thread that is sticking out of the bottom of the speaker stands. That would make a pretty solid connection to the speaker. How i currently have it with the foam thing the speakers basically have suspension. LOL
Hey folks, thanks for all the input!
Well, i had the spikes set so that the speakers were slightly tilted backwards, i went ahead and tightened em all the way down and this definatly restored some of my imaging.
The girly was over last night so that restricted how much i could mess around with it, gott play with her first. LOL
Anyways, when i get home tonight im probably just gonna pull those cones off the speakers and save them for another use.
