Reducing Resonance Between Speakers and Stands – Need Advice

Link to BluTak (best to use tiny pea sized balls that will flatten out - less is more).

Townshend are superior to Isoacoustics Gaia

Could someone explain why a soft material like Blu-Tack or Sorbothane sheets might be better between a stand and a speaker than an acoustic isolator like IsoAcoustics? I’m still new to this hobby, but my intuition tells me that something soft like Blu-Tack would mellow the sound, while something like IsoAcoustics helps the sound detach from the speaker without introducing distortion from stand vibrations.

FWIT , I used the soberthane blue dots that came with my Sound Anchor stands and they damaged the cabinets on my speakers and also damaged the finish on the Sound Anchor stands. I currently use Townsends Isolation platforms. If you can afford Joseph Pulsars get some comparable stands. Search my history and read the thread I have about not using spikes. There are at least a half dozen manufacturers to consider for speaker isolation. The only better quality speaker stand I have personal experience with is Sound Anchor. But don’t use blue dots and do use some kind of seismic isolation. The Townsends are pricy but the improvement I experienced IS outstanding. Happy Hunting , Mike B. 

Have great success with AUVA Isolators between my HarbethC7s and my Warfdale Linton stands.
