Gold Sovereigns or nothing!A trick I used for years was to put nickels under my spiked floorstanders on my hardwoods. Then somebody told me they‘d sound better with quarters.

4 is more stable since the pivot point is further from the center of gravity. 3 is a magic number however and that has greater mythical properties.Should we start an argument about the quantity of outriggers that would 'sound better'?
3 or 4?
One is said to be more stable... The other lowers the weight on each leg.
This Brian dude disagrees with you:4 is more stable since the pivot point is further from the center of gravity.

A three-legged base is always more stable than one with 4 or more legs.
Going back to Geometry 101, remember that any three points not on a line define a plane. Any four points not in the same plane define space. The point being that three legs will always be rock stable no matter their length or how uneven the floor on which they rest. To get a 4-legged table to sit solidly requires that they be the same length and be sitting on a very even floor. Think about how many times you've seen a 4-legged table with one leg shimmed to keep the table from rocking - have you ever seen a 3-legged stool or table treated similarly? Brian

Lots of caveats in there. Luckily, the spikes are height adjustable so that all of them are touching the cups. The center of gravity is lower and further from the tipping plane in a mass support by 4 legs.This Brian dude disagrees with you:

They're the Lego blocks of high end audio, except sooner or later you will break a toe.I have a pair of Energy RC-50 towers that I have owned for at least 12 years. I purchased a set of outriggers for them but never installed them. What are people's impressions of outriggers? Do they improve stability? Does it make it easier to clean underneath? Subjective impressions on appearance?
I was not aware that a wrecking-ball was going to be put on a 'tripod'.raise the center of gravity and give a push.
Is it anything as easy as tipping-a-cow [not after the waitress served you your filet-mignon.]And yes… I’ve seen this happen.
I wouldn't want to mar the wood floor's finish with spikes.bare speakers on the wood floor is better than aggressive spikes for sure. If the floors are a mirror finish i would use some buffer.

Which outrigger product is this, DonR? They look better than what I've found to date. Thanks.View attachment 337762
Ok, installed after 12 years haha. The cat made me do it as he nearly knocked over the speakers when doing zoomies. They are slightly more stable after leveling and adjusting.
Bass has definitely tightened. Night and day in the upper bass. Even the mids are more chocolatey, veils lifted , wife in kitchen , yada yada. Sorry, couldn't help myself.
Ah, no wonder they look good. Thanks.Custom made by a dude who no longer makes them.
