Isolation pads for the speaker stands


Recently I installed Herbies fat dots on the speaker stands
The bass improved immediately but is too heavy. Should i use
softer dots or to remove sand from the columns since I filled
them to the top.

Have you experimented with moving the stands/speakers? Stands from the walls/speaker toe-in?
Also try: Moving your speakers more out in the room..That should give you more midrange openness and cut back on the Bass energy......Move them a few inches at a time until satisfied.....I found my Kharmas work best about 5' out into the room.....
I had the same problem. My stands now have the little clear dots that are used for cabinet doors to keep them from the wood door coming in contact with the wood face of the cabinet(three on each corner). It didn't matter where I moved the stands either. It's something the cabinet is doing and has nothing to do with placement.
If you have the time and patience,try changing the amount of sand filled in the stands..I have found ( using Skylan Speaker stands ) that the amount of fill required for best sonics in fillable stands has a lot to do with Speaker cabinet construction..Thin wall speaker cabinets react much differently than thick wall speaker cabinets..Sonics can change considerably ( good and bad ) from the amount of fill in Stands.....I ended up filling only 1/3 of stands.....
