This seems wrong to me. I have my speakers spiked to a French limestone floor, with a rug with padding in front of the speakers. It sounds great, I wouldn't think of setting the speakers up differently. I would add padding for your rug, pour myself a single malt, and listen to some music.
Heavy Speakers with Spikes on a Concrete Floor
Looking through the current Mapleshade flyer, the flyer states that speakers sitting on a concrete floor will have boomy bass and treble that is muted.
Their suggestion is to buy their 4” thick Maple with 3” spikes platforms and place them under the speakers.
Now, forget for now the price of these platforms. Is their value to this claim?
If there is a value, I would think that instead of steel spikes, speaker manufactures would make a Maple speaker type footer. Wouldn’t that make more sense?
And secondly, how would I be able to place a 215 lb speaker with large spikes onto this platform?
