I had a similar problem--floor standing speakers on a hardwood floor produced some boominess. I sandwiched four Vibrapods betweem the floor and a piece of hard laminate tile, then set the speaker on the tile. That eliminated the boominess, tightened the bass. For visual aesthetics, it helps to have the tile no larger than the base of the speaker.
Floor speakers on tile floors?
I am finishing a new house and setting up my home audio system. I am trying to get the best combination of 2-channel audio and home theater. (I have to live in the real world!) I am considering the Dynaudio T2.5/ T2.1 or possibly the JM Lab Mini Utopia and center Utopia. One of my problems is the speakers will be sitting on a tile floor. The majority of the room is carpeted but there is a circular travertine tile around the perimeter. Any suggestions on how to deal with this surface. Can the Dynaudio speakers just sit on the tile floor or would that be an acoustic nightmare? I appreciate any help or advice.
