Footers under my speakers double the perceived value of my speakers!

My first experience with putting footers under my speakers was with Tannoy Westminster Royals.
With some difficulty, I put Mapleshade heavy footers under them. I was amazed. These $20k speakers, all of a sudden, became $30+ speakers! These days, I am into Stillpoints. Same thing-even more. My $30k speakers now sound like $60k speakers. I mean the imaging, the definition, the bass and everything just sounds fantastically Improved. I just put on the Stillpoints yesterday. This morning I jumped out of bed early just to be able to turn on the stereo and be floored. BTW- my speakers are 200 lbs and the Stillpoints Minis are strong enough. Pretty cheap for such an improvement!

It makes sense to couple speakers to a solid slab, and isolate them from a resonate floor. Every situation is a bit different.

Spikes through the carpet to a concrete floor made a pretty notable improvement with several different speakers in my old room. Now that I have a carpeted plywood floor with joists under it, I’m hearing more floor resonance, and need to experiment with isolation or even shoring up the joists underneath.
