Best treatment for speaker feet????


Looking for input on best way to handle speaker feet. Couple or decouple? Spikes or rubbber? Granite or no granite?

My situation is, 80lb floorstanding speakers on carpet over plywood decking on second floor.

Opinions appreciated!

Stanwal... as fate would have it, I received the following E-mail from the organization you refer to where-in you say "There was a really good looking outrigger base with spikes for a not totally unreasonable price but the web site has disappeared and I fear they are gone".

"Dear Friends,

As many of you are aware our sites www.oregondv.com and www.soundocity.com are currently unavailable. Unfortunately, we have experienced a serious situation and due to some strange circumstances we have lost all of our website data. My son and I are committed to continuing this operation of audio accessories and will be rebuilding our sites ASAP. Regretfully, this will take up to a couple months before we are up and running again. However, we will continue to build and sell our products, including outriggers, via email.

Please pass this information onto our online audio friends and any others interested in our products. At this point we have no way of passing our information on except for email.

All orders placed over the last few weeks will be fulfilled ASAP and I fully look forward to a regaining our site presence and talking to you soon.

I purchased two 3/8” thick steel plates that are 1” inch wider and longer than the base of my Avalon’s… I drilled and taped holes in each of the corners to screw in 3/8” x 2.25” spikes… I covered the bottom of the plates with Rope Caulk… and to level them I beat them into the plywood sub-floor with a dead-blow hammer.
