    I've used it before for small bookshelf speakers that I wanted to couple to speaker stands so they would not move or fall off. Be careful with it as it can stain and rip off thin laminate over time the same as it can pull paint off a wall when it's removed. It is a synthetic rubber compound so can dampen vibrations but I don't think the small amounts used really do anything good or bad. A small amount is all I used. I would not bother using it for larger monitor speakers since those don't tend to move on the stands I have.

    I have always used it on many different standmount speakers over the years. I used 4 decent size balls in the the corners of the stand top plate and sometimes in the middle too if the speaker was larger. If you have good stands that are free from vibration i see this as another great isolating method while also securing the speaker to the stand to help prevent accidents.
