Yes, just like your genius of telling Peter to use double sided tape to make the Ultra 5s work with his Mini IIs.

If I had indeed followed Christian's advice about the double sided tape, and then still reported mixed results, then I guess, to remain consistent, he would have had to admit that his advice led me to "not implement them correctly." One can't have it both ways.
And yet, people have written that one should experiment with implementation. Try them right side up, upside down, try 3 units or four units, with threaded inserts, without them, in the holes for the component feet, not there but possibly many other locations, flush against the bottom, raised a credit card amount, etc. etc. The Ultra video on the Stillpoints websit shows the Ultra 5s with a proprietary base disk unit that is threaded into the flat surface of the unit and the sales rep states that it is meant for under speakers and for soft floors and this base unit adds a leveling feature not found on the Ultra 5. What confuses me though, is how can the device now be threaded into the bottom of the speaker? The threaded side is used up accepting the base unit. He refers to the "hat" as the tapered part implying that that goes up and the flat half is oriented down. However, the flat half is the one that accepts the threaded insert adaptor. Surely that must be the one oriented up toward the bottom of the component or speaker.
It is clear to me that there is no one way to try these devices. The advice seems to be to experiment, with orientation, with number of units, with positioning and with whether or not it touches the bottom of the component.
I would not have even tried these with my speakers if it had been clear that they were not designed to go with stand mounted speakers such as the Mini 2. It's been a learning experience, though.
