Stands or feet for Thiel 3.6


I am using Thiel 3.6's with the factory spiked feet on a berber carpet over a 2nd story wood floor. The speakers are still a bit tippy. Does anyone have any experience with any of these options:

1) Sound Anchor stands for Thiel 3.6 ($235/pr)
2) Sistrum stands (SP-004) ($370/pr)
3) Substituting brass feet for factory spiked feet - Audio points by Bright Star, 1.2AP-THLS (these slip into the factory spike holes) ($160 to do all 6 spikes).
4) other products . . . ?

Many thanks for any advice you would have.

Hi Gnobber, please give the Sistrum speaker platforms a try. Maybe someone, someday will build a better mouse trap. Until then the performance with these platforms may be the best investment you could make with the possible exception of moving up to the next level Thiel has to offer. I do not know if you will get the same results on wood floors as i have concrete. Theaudiotweak or Robert at Starsound could be much more helpful than myself how these platforms perform on wood floors. I have loaned out my platforms, i have referred some to Robert for a 30 day trial. Not one who has tried these platforms(if they fit)could believe what the improvement in soundstaging, dynamics, an ease or a lack of effort that was easy to hear. As you can tell i am a big fan of these Platforms. Take the 30 day trial and find out what you hear. Your opinion is the only one that matters. Having heard some of the other well regarded speaker stands and platforms i found much to be desired in comparison. Just trying to be helpful. I have nothing to do with Starsound. As far as being a bit tipsy because the platforms have a three point design, i have a couple ideas that will help. Best to you in your search for that stand that stands apart from the rest.
