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!

I am emoing a large speakere (ATC PRO SCM150A) on top of a large subwoofer (ATC's new 15 inch sub).  After some research, I want to try Stuart Varney's EVP pads, as they are capable of major weight support. I am going to order some and try them.

I dealt with this. Is the top of your stands one solid surface? If it is, get rid of them. No blue tack or filling them with kitty litter is going to fix it. The top of the stand needs to be open so when you look down from above with no speaker on it, you can see the floor. It’s the most noticeable upgrade I’ve ever made.

If you had me build all of your enclosures you would have zero resonance anywhere no matter how much power you put to it
