Granite Slabs

@thecarpathian I was having a little fun with photoshop there.  That's my face on a Talosian from the pilot episode of Star Trek. Real hat size is 7 3/8.

@buellrider97 You spent $13K on Quartzite?  My travertine tiles were < $20 and were the perfect size, requiring no cutting.  I would not say they made much difference, my Arendals are 111 pounds and with SVS SoundPath feet there's not going to be much vibration transfer.  I did see a small improvement on the subwoofer however, using a 18x36 slate tile.

So what is best to do if you have carpet on the 2nd floor of a wood framed house? I have the spikes in the carpet without the little disks that go under the spikes.

I’d been considering A-pods but haven’t done anything yet. 

@skeptikal ,

Well, you did a great job, looks really cool! Great two part episode.

@skeptikal . Sorry I wasn’t more clear. Yes I spent that amount for my kitchen counter tops. If you go to a stone store , or a granite fabricator you can get remnants for pennies on the dollar. 

I bought mine from a tombstone maker they have larger sizes (thinkness) then counter top makers. Note polishing is something to consider as it increases price the more glossy the finish. If your happy with a mate finish its much cheeper.
