Reducing Resonance Between Speakers and Stands – Need Advice
My Joseph Audio Pulsar speakers are currently placed on some basic stands, which themselves sit on spikes. When playing bass-heavy material, I feel the sound doesn’t quite detach cleanly from the speakers — instead it seems to vibrate and spread sideways, as if too much resonance is being transferred into the stands.
I’m looking for something to place between the speakers and the stands that would help reduce these resonances and improve bass clarity.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
My experience in pro is Sound Anchor stands - these seem to always sound best. I don’t use iso acoustic pucks or any other kind of decoupler, I avoid blue dots, they stick to the speakers and after time can actually pull the veneer or paint off. Sorbothane is "wet" and same problem, they stick. Ive experimented with other types of springs and isolators so I’m, not against them, but the high mass stands seems to make the most difference in improving the sound.
Simple ADJ1’s for bookshelves is what we use for all our demos. ADJ2’s for larger heavier speakers that are still technically bookshelf. They are also height adjustable. The new LMS 1 and LMS 2s are for larger speakers, such as large ATC 50s or 100s in monitor form.

Hey @goleksiak , are you recommending 3 or 4 per speaker? Assuming between speaker and stand? Trying to follow your math at $1.57 per piece. |
