Spikes

Yes . Adding spikes can dramatically clean up the midrange and smooth out the bass response. On some systems , spiking can increase transparency and soundstaging properties. The speaker will no longer be coupled to the floor .

Awww comon Slappy , I read your answer and now not happy.

Coupling vs de coupling... hummmm . On 9-14-03 Theaudiotweak was involved in a great discusion called " Best isolation device for speakers " whereby the differences of isolation and coupling - de coupling are extensively covered. His advocation of the combined usage of the Sistrum and audiopoints makes good sense. Warrenh , a highly respected AG member agrees . Barry Kohan of Bright Star once again takes time and effort to help everyone understand the scientific principles of vibration and its effects on out systems. We need more Barrys on this site as i constantly run into him as i stay up all hours of the nite surfing archives for information . I will myself look into this a bit more as there seems to be some disagreement and much to understand.

Yea , I know Slappy , I have just been waiting to say that. Couldnt help myself. I know you know whats going on .
