At nearly $500, for many it would probably be a wiser investment to upgrade the speakers, but if you have your system close to where you want it, the Symposium platforms can be a substantial upgrade. Once you insert the Symposiums, you realize that the stands resonate with the speakers, especially when using Blutak, which welds them together as one. Freeing the speakers from the stand resonance yields more clarity in the mid and low bass and an overall more open sound. While lovers of standmounts prize them for their ability to dissappear, the Symposiums emphasize this quality even more. If you like your speakers, but wish for a bit less midbass thickness and more clarity, these could work well for you. If you are serious about optimizing the sound of your quality standmounts, the Symposium platforms are definitely worth investigating.
