After many years of poking holes in various floors I noticed that there was an "anti-spike" movement afoot (!). Stillpoints make perfect sense, and plenty of speaker makers are now using some sort of "decoupling" on the stands, under the speakers, etc....so I bought 4 butcher blocks that fit the bottom profile of my speakers perfectly, painted 'em flat black, use 2 per side to get my tweeters where they should be (D'Appolito array so no tilt allowed), and bought a set of the proper weight rating Vibrapods, thus allowing the Stillpoints people to keep their inventory stable. Done. The blocks have tiny rubber feet to keep them where they belong (the floor, and on top of each other), and the speaker sits on the 'Pods on the top of the blocks. This renders meaningless whatever your floor is made of (dirt, wood, slate, sand, dried groupie vomit, thatch, granite, concrete blondes, etc.) and my SOTA (according to my friend Art) rig sings like a really well versed bird.
So......what do you use under your speakers?
Looking to replace the stock spikes on my new speakers (Vivid Audio) that will make improvements in sound as well as give me a little more height. I have a commercial grade carpet over concrete with no padding. Not really looking to alter any frequency range but wouldn't mind general overall improvements in clarity, imaging, etc. I have been looking at Eden Sound Terracones, Stillpoints and Wave Kinetics. Price is not a deal breaker. TIA.
