So the speakers are not spiked in to the granite there sit in floor protectors and there is a layer of 1/10th of an inch sorbothane between it and the granite if you put something springs between the speaker and the granite it would be like trying to throw a ball from centerfield to home plate while standing on a trampoline it doesn't work
Tomic601 i do most of the 7's granite base installs for John there is thin soft layer of material on top of the 7's base and are bolted to the speaker I'm getting about 85 -90 % of the benefit you will definitely hear 100% the same benefits that I got
I talked to Richard before adding the bases
