Speaker outriggers

[Wookson]

Good morning

Does anyone have experience with speaker outriggers?

I'd like to use them to give my speakers more stability.

I've already found these: https://www.speakerenco.nl/dayton-a...MIke3Ns_nIkAMV7fZ5BB3qPDW4EAQYAiABEgKDdvD_BwE

Are there also outriggers with rubber feet? Or could I replace the spikes in the model above with rubber ones?

Regards, David

'How do people feel about outriggers on speakers?' https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...ople-feel-about-outriggers-on-speakers.48114/

Also an internet search for 'diy speaker outriggers' will yield a few threads that might be useful.
Fwiw I recently switched the spikes on my floorstanding speakers for rubber feet (wooden floor) and did not notice any disimprovement in the sound, while the speakers are now more stable.
I bought 8x M8 thread rubber feet on Ebay to replace the spikes and paid about €20 total.

I bought these to fix under my 90 Kg Avantgarde speakers after removing the unsightly but stable "scaffolding" a few years ago. They can be fixed at right angles or, as I did, at a jaunty angle that adds to the width and depth of the speaker's support system.

A word of warning. If your seakers are heavy, the small rubber pimples that protect the floor are likely to come out, but these's a great solution. Unscrew the conical base part and replace with good quality feet such as Gaias or simple spikes. The black metal bar has a 6mm thread so you have lots of choice for outrigger feet.

PS - For economy, you could buy a single set and use 2 at the front of each speaker and leave existing feet at the back - it's the front where most of the weight is.

Outriggers or whatever you might call them are pretty essential IMO ... especially when you have grandchildren.

When I assembled my DIY Zaph Audio ZRT's I used a 'flat pack' cabinet from Parts Express but fabricated the base you see in the pic to provide greater stability; (shown here without spikes that my base can accommodate.) Had the Dayton outriggers linked by the OP be available when I built the ZRT's I would probably have used them instead of the bases I built.
