3 or 4 cones under speakers /cdp which better WHY

If you go with the Sistrum support system for your speakers or any of your components you will not have to worry about the point placement. Their 3 point system is united by a unique matrix. If you use their individual points, placement IS very important. Go to audiopoints.com and ask to speak to Robert. He's the man over there and he will show you the light. I use their points and racks on everything in my system. If you decide that coupling is what you want to do: Audiopoints.com be the place. Their website has got it all: white paper and pictures. peace,warren

hello for the 3 point planes concept to be accurate the 3 cones must be placed in a exact perfect triangle configuration. Now this is easily accomplished with light components or speakers but try it with a pair of 485 pound Dunlavy 5 speakers its really not possible. I would recommend using 4 cones in situations like this, especially if your in California.

Along the lines of what Marty has said, I always thought that the key was to place cones/points under the areas of the component which are most vulnerable to vibrational effects FIRST, then distribute the other one or two to provide balance and overall stability.
