Sorbathane under granite slabs for speaker bases?


I’m getting two 12"x12" granite slabs to use as bases under my KEF Reference Model 2s via spikes. They will be sitting on a 5" high hollow tile shelf. Would using thin (.25") 70 duro sorbathane under the slabs help in isolating the speakers or will it possibly negatively impact the sound?

Thanks for any input.

My floors are raised wood. I  had a hell of a time getting the speakers to sound right.

 I tried just spiking them through the carpet and into the wood floors. Undefined  bass. 

Then I tried them spiked to granite bases.  Improved mids and highs. No bass. 

Finally, I bought a pair of Maple Shade unfinished maple platforms. I spiked the platforms to the floor through the carpet, then spiked the speakers to the maple platforms. Walla! Done. 

Double click on my icon, then double click again to see the Maple platforms under the speakers.
