Stillpoints always work great under speakers?

Any one try it and then yank them?

I did - but that's because my speakers already have a suspension, and the Stillpoints technology might conflict with mine. I have an acrylic suspension frame that needs to be coupled to the floor. The decoupling is from the speaker to the frame. The Stillpoints might have worked between the speaker and the frame, but then I lose a great story to tell: that the speakers are earthquake proof.

I tried them under my CLXs and took them out after two days smaller sound stage and I did not like the sound speakers are on a thin carpet on a slate floor over concert. Did not work for me at all.

I heard them under a friend's pair of Wilson Alexias and thought they were pretty good after a short listen, but it was not a huge improvement. The owner has since removed them and has not tried them again. Perhaps he will some time in the future. With the exception of this friend, they have pretty much been universally praised under Wilsons in this forum.

I tried them under my speakers and did not like them at all. As soon as I shared my observations on this forum, I was attacked for not following the proper set up procedure. But I had been told to experiment with them until I found the right orientation and location. I'm still confused. I won't be trying them again under my current speakers.

I tried them threaded all the way in and backed off so only the threads had contact. I wonder if they work best under heavy speakers just a thought. some things work some things do not in any given system. They changed the sound but not for the better IMO.
