Cube Speaker Stands?

[George Hincapie]

Can anyone tell me if these are the right stands for the Cube 2s please?

I presume I just rest the speakers on the plinths on top? Nothing else required?

Many thanks.

I'm pretty sure they are what the doc uses. Yes just place them on the stands.

[George Hincapie]

Great, I shall get some ordered. Thank you.

They are similar. The company that made the ones I use is in Birmingham, but these are cheaper and should be the same.

Happy to look at those Doc if you have their details? Otherwise I shall just grab the linked ones.

Thanks.

To preserve speaker bottoms and stand-tops, may I suggest some small bump-on feet on the top of the stand? I have used these, or something all but identical from RS Components.

I honestly cannot tell any real sonic difference in using them, but they do the job well, preventing slippage and preventing the speaker bases getting marked, or nasty blue-tac getting embedded in woodgrain veneers...

Yeh i use them Dave, I use them on the bottom of my Granite isolation platforms too. Cos they are quite hard they stay fully formed under the heavy weight.. Also use them on my outboard 2.5" HDD Caddies stop em moving about too..

As I said get the linked ones they look the same and are cheaper.

The stands are now ordered. Is there any benefit in those marble/granite rectangles I have seen people use under their stands? Will there be any sonic benefit to using some with the Cubes?

[Dr Bunsen Honeydew]

Depends what the stands stand on. Suck it and see.

The answer to all these questions is make yourself YOUR expert, have confidence, trust your ears.
