bookshelf speakers on the floor


I spend a lot of the time on the floor (bad back) and read, listen, waste all the good remaining hours of the day like a lazy cat. I tried a pair of speakers on the floor, - before moving to a stand - and noticed that they sounded better than on a stand - to my ears. When I am on the floor, they sound even better. (Yes, there are a number of things wrong with me)

Is it OK for a bookshelf speaker to be on the floor? And if so, should I put something underneath? (Should I try putting it on my stomach? Just kidding!)

@tomic601 thanks! my back is good enough not to need a doctor and bad enough for the pain not to go away :) but the floor helps

@nonoise yes, I saw the prices! Do you know where to buy the legs or whatever they are called? Or I can put Nobsound springs underneath the slab?

first I apologize for misplacing it. Can I change the category to speakers, still? 

@noromance  "vibrating the floor" yes, I was worried about it. I will try the springs! it's hardwood floor so I am sure the wood would want to dance a little

@ghdprentice I never heard of short stands. Ashamed to admit, decades ago, I used bricks

@russ69 "try different heights" I stopped growing when I was 22 :) But I will check out those growth hormone pills

thanks @yogiboy and @chrisr, I decided to stick to stands. But I will always wonder when lying on the floor if it would be more enjoyable :)
