IMO having heard these3, the ultimate tweak would be to place 4 of them under our listening chair
Or four under the chair...and then sitting on another four on TOP of the chair!

Might as well have at least one for the top of your head while we are at it.

Ah yes. The Stillpoints Ultra 5 hat! Arriving soon at dealers near you.
Hell, maybe I'm onto something here (with partial credit to Sean-We'll share the royalties). Stillpoints hat, Stillpoints shoes, Stillpoints shirt, and Stillpoints pants. I'm still thinking about underwear and socks.

Too bad the Stillpoints Ultra 5s are $700 each at retail. Even if you could buy them at 'cost' at around $350 each, that's still $2800 for a set of speakers which is more than lots of mere mortals can afford for tweaks and not components. Paying retail at $5,600 for a set of 8 makes sense if your speakers cost over $100K (I guess) because it's all relative. And to think that some of you guys have Stillpoints Ultra 5s under and on top of every damn thing you own including your shoes when you are sitting in your listening chair. Life is good.

My hats off to you, Christian, Frank and many others who brought this topic to to the forefront. I'm sitting here listening to Buddha-Bar Vol lll disk 2 and I feel that I'm in Paris and in that lounge.
I now know what Christian meant when he described the soundstage change. It's difficult to put in words except to say there's more of it.
So, do think the ultra 5s were a bigger improvement than the Shunyata PCs and PLCs?
Steve, have you thought any more about the "softness" you mentioned? One thing that occurred to me is that the Stillpoints may have lessened a cabinet or room resonance that caused some sharpness or harshness at some frequencies?
I thought the same because it is almost an oxymoron to say the deep bass and mid bass is so much clearer and cleaner but yet there is some softening of the sound.

Try the Ultra SS (as I have done). I don't really know how it compares to the Ultra 5 but I can say it's worth $2000 to "treat" one pair of speakers, unless your speakers are so inexpensive that $2000 will buy you a much better pair of speakers.
