I hope I don’t come off as “Captain Obvious” by noting that if this is an issue with stereo music sources, then chances are your speakers are too far apart. I would keep fiddling if I were you, but to each his own.
Great system/enjoy!

Great detail suggestion… An appropriately sized, black rubber or plastic cap would complete the assembly nicely (for just a few pennies).
“Nice work.”
TYVM… Without a 2nd person being around constantly to hold the TALL box, it was plenty clumsy, too.
“I wonder how they would sound with Townshend Podiums.”
“Now you’re talking.”
Indeed, and instead of talking, YOU gentlemen get to buy all that stuff and tell us.
When e-mailing years ago with Steve Herbeline (sp?) of Herbies Audio Labs, I was positing that my concrete-slab floor doesn’t vibrate… He responded, in kinder terms than my summary, that I only THINK my concrete-slab floor doesn’t vibrate… Hmm…thought I…I can feel the occasional large truck driving up and down the main street a halfblock away from the house…I guess it DOES vibrate… That comment and subsequent experience turned me into an isolatist rather than a couplist… I now have all my equipment isolated with various pads and/or devices ranging from $15 Herbies Tenderfoots to $200 AV Room Service’s EVPs.
“Does toe in fix your centre fill problem?”
No, it simply makes the speakers sound brighter.
"Maybe some type of decorative nut cap would be a better look… "
I suppose, but that nut is the locknut that prevents the foot from screwing in or out inadvertantly from the vibrations of the speaker… Selections in M8-1.25 are VERY limited.

As discussed earlier in the thread, my projection screen rather limits my options… Parked just outside the screen’s frame, the overall 2-channel sound (and multichannel, too, when played in 4-channel mode without a centerchannel) is quite good–the best I’ve heard in my system… My personal preference is wide-and-deep rather than narrow-and-dense-and-deep, so I’m probably finished fiddling, at least for a while.
“Great system/enjoy!”
TYVM.
Finally have enough burn-in time on the center and surround channels that I’ve turned them off… Still running the stereo channels 24/7, probably until next WE at about 500 hours.
The large plated brass top cap from the stock foot acts like a big lock nut and could be used with this SVS foot (instead of that little nut). Jeff, have you tried these?
Certainly would look better.
No; had not thought of that… I’ll try them… Thx Chris.
Hooray for that!
FWIW, this is more aesthetically pleasing; at least to my eyes.
Nice work.
I like it!
Wonderful. Can you say (or guide me to a place you have already said) your thoughts on the Ohm Walsh?
I’ve never heard an Ohm Walsh. Did you mean the Walsh-type-driver HHR Exotics TLS-2s that I own?
Yes!
