I came up with this tweak & have been using this tweak for many years.
Probably the best $500 tweak I could ever imagine.
I have 2 Adona 24" X 24" granite with mdf platforms that I used with Sonus Faber Stradavari's with great success.
I used the spikes with disc's that came with the speakers on the granite platforms.

#1 - It made positioning (moving) the speakers a very simple task. Once the spikes & disc's were set up on the granite platforms - toe in, toe out, a tad closer to the rear wall, side wall became a snap & now a one man job.
#2 - It allowed me to position the speakers 2' closer to the rear wall - which in my case opened up the soundstage big time.
#3 - The speakers (graphite) looked great atop the granite platforms & a perfect match for my 2 Adona racks.
*I did have to adjust/raise the rear spikes about 1" so the tweeter position was ear level.
**Do not use spikes under the granite platforms as it will kill #1 & place the tweeter even higher.
