Floor spikes for speakers?


I have Revel Studio 2 speakers with 2 SVS subs in a rather large, treated and carpeted room.  I bought the speakers with no floor spikes but I'd like to know what would happen to the sound if I put them on spikes.

Isoacoustics Orea footers would do well under your components. I have them under my Boulder 866 integrated amp. 

@wswright20 , Wow ! What a beautiful room you have. Did you consider spikes under the feet ( pods ) of the Townshend Podiums ? 

If I may pose a side question to others without hijacking the thread please. Of those that have Townshend products on carpet, have you tried spikes under the pods ? I realize the Giaia’s and the Auva’s offer complimenting spikes and I have extra thick shag and padding ?  Also any sort of slab or wood flat on the carpet is totally out of the question due to moisture concerns.

Here is an article with lab tests that serves as a strong argument against the use of spikes for loudspeakers. 

Ten Misconceptions about Loudspeaker Spikes

@buellrider97 , I have not considered spikes under the platforms but it's an interesting question.  I have carpet sliders on the podium feet that allow me to reposition the speakers by myself.  I don't remember asking John at Townshend about spikes but would be insightful to get his opinion.

Thanks for the comments on my room, certainly have some compromises for SQ but I like to watch a lot of sports on cc while I listen to music, usually with too much wine!  I actually dug up the concrete floor to run two cable tracks to allow for the roughly 10M run from the electronics.  We do a lot of entertaining and it's a great space for fun when everyone gets to make up their favorite playlist!
