speakerman39 Audioholic Overlord Feb 10, 2006 10,401 0 113 59 Apr 21, 2016 #1 Folks, I just recently purchased some HiVi stands for my Ultras. They were very easy to put together and I really like them. Was using some old tables that my Sister was going to throw away. The only reason that I have kept them this long is she passed away in 2010. Just wanted some feedback as to whether or not I made a good decision here. Have noticed an improvement in sound by using the stands. So, that is a plus for sure. But, what about looks? Sure hope it looks better. Here are some pics when my Ultras were on the tables and when on my stands: Just hope I made the right call. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Phil

Use them as bedside or couch tables to keep the memories. And what is up with the yellow sticker on the TV. I would think that would be rather distracting. Reactions: speakerman39

The stands have made a noticeable improvement in the sound. The tables that I was using have already been given them to my niece. She really wanted them and my Sis is her Mother. Feel like I did the right thing. The yellow stick is gone. That is an older pic. But, the candy is still here......LOL!!!!! What do I need to get to help decouple my Ultras from my stands? Have any recommendations? Would that improve the sound even more? Or, is it just more snake oil? Appreciate the help! Cheers, Phil

Click to expand... Tables are gone. Gave them to my niece. There is no room to put the file cabinet next to my computer. But, I am moving it to the opposite side of my couch. That will allow me to move my couch 20" to the right of where the MLP is now. Going to try to even things out a bit more as many has advised. Hopefully, I can keep my S1500's equidistant from my MLP. Imaging should improve as well. Do you like the stands better? Cheers, Phil

Don't want to do any damage to the Ultras finish. Cheers, Phil

Improve the sound? Probably not. Sorbothane probably not because that version doesn't have the plasticizer and the Herbie's pads definitely not. I like them because it keeps the subs from shaking the speakers. Reactions: speakerman39

I see. I will look into it more. Do some reading when I have the time. My boom stand is supposed to be here today. Seems like it has taken forever. Maybe I need to rethink the Amazon Prime thing. Thanks for the links. Cheers, Phil

Well, that all depends on what she looks like AND what she is working with, no? Now, you know if she looks like Kate then she ain't going nowhere.....LOL!!!!! Yes, I am removing the stand as we speak. Just a slow process as I do NOT move as fast as I used to. Cheers, Phil Reactions: afterlife2

More than worth 100/year IMO or whatever its up to. Between shipping, prime movies and TV shows, prime music, and free photo storage I'm not about to give up prime anytime soon.
