floor standing speaker platform questions


Well i have some older psb gold floorstanders without any spikes at all. They are just sitting on my thick padded carpet. I heard a system the other day that had big outriggers on them. The demonstrator slid a quarter under one of the spikes on a corner and it totally changed the way the dic sounded. So now im thinking that a set of maple platforms under my speakers with spikes could help. Lmk what u think or ideas

I have a pair of Hales Rev 3s and because of my height and that my listening chair is a rather large wooden rocker, I decided to raise my speakers. End result is they are spiked, sitting on square foot concrete stepping stones (painted black) and the concrete are each sitting on four hockey pucks. My floor is carpet over concrete. Not only did this work to raise the speakers, but the bass tightened up as well. Total cost was around $20.
Good luck and happy listening.
