In the beginning, most speakers were placed on the floor. The floor acted like a megaphone that over-emphasized the bass which covered up the melody or mid-range sounds.

The next step to "decouple" or isolate the speaker from the floor was to place it on a milk crate. At best, this was a temporary solution as the tweeter (the small device that produces all the high notes) was positioned too low for ideal listening. We feel the tweeter should be at face-level, for a normal listening position.

Next came the cheap particle board stands that typically sell for $35-$65 pr. Their downside is that they are not very rigid.

Our concern for rigidity stems from the statement "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction...". In short, as the woofer moves in and out, something else must move. In this case, the speaker box begins to vibrate. The chain reaction starts the stand moving, making it possible for the speaker enclosure and stand to move more than the tweeter.

A loss of music occurs.

Then came the first of the light weight metal stands. A small improvement, but still not rigid enough.

The real breakthrough came with the solid, rigid heavier metal stands with "spikes", top and bottom. These spikes act as a mechanical filter between the speaker and the floor, as bass requires a broad contact to transfer energy.

Now the evolution is complete and the speaker produces its full potential of sound.
