Help understanding the new Stillpoints products


I have written Stillpoints directly and got no answer from them (a bad sign I guess), so I thought I'd ask here.

I have liked the still points cones and risers for many years. They are not right in every situation, but they are consistently an improvement in many applications, in my experience.

Now they've come up with a whole new set of products, and I don't know what to make of them.

For example, the new Ultras: the recent Positive Feedback review says that is you are only going to use them under one component, use them under your speakers. I would actually love to try them under my speakers. My current speakers have truly lethal spikes that come with them, and I have never been thrilled with them (nor have my hardwood floors, despite the Starpoint protectors I have underneath them).

Problem: the Sitllpoints website gives no information (that I could find) on how to attach the Ultras to a speaker.

Similarly, there are new Stillpoints that apparently, with new adapters they are selling, will screw directly into a component. I would very much like to try this with my CDP. I've never liked resting it on top of the stillpoints becuase it slides around too much. But the website does not make clear how to buy the adapters and how to size them.

I've been on various dealer's websites, and they don't offer any insights, and don't seem to be selling the adapters separately.

In short, based on my (perhaps ineffective) searching, I've been able to figure out exactly nothing about how to order the right set of Stillpoints products for my needs nor how to use them with my particular equipment.

Anyone's help would be most appreciated. Especially folks from Stillpoints or dealers who can help me figure out what I need AND then acquire the stuff.

Thanks!

Ebm -- the Symposium stuff is not what I'm looking for, thanks though.

Ramy, this is consistent with the review, thanks

Calloway, I read the article in stereotimes (I mis-cited it above as Positive Feedback). That article is tantalizing, but I don't have enough information on what can be bought, from whom and how to figure it all out. Thanks though for weighing in -- most appreciated.
Glad to know it's not just me, thanks for your responses Mezmo and FrankC.

A dealer has e-mailed me and offered to help straighten it out. Please e-mail me if you want me to follow-up with details.
