Heavy Speakers with Spikes on a Concrete Floor


Looking through the current Mapleshade flyer, the flyer states that speakers sitting on a concrete floor will have boomy bass and treble that is muted.
Their suggestion is to buy their 4” thick Maple with 3” spikes platforms and place them under the speakers.

Now, forget for now the price of these platforms. Is their value to this claim?
If there is a value, I would think that instead of steel spikes, speaker manufactures would make a Maple speaker type footer. Wouldn’t that make more sense?

And secondly, how would I be able to place a 215 lb speaker with large spikes onto this platform?

I was always under impression that using the spikes to pierce thru the carpet and contact the concrete was always the correct way to go;is this pratice not correct now?
If you absolutely don't want to spike, then use the universal cerapuc footers on top of your favorite wood that is on the carpet or try just on carpet.This will probably give you a good place to start listening as you can vary the size,shape and type of wood.
Lifeengineer, Actually I did own some Cerapucs for a time and I did try them under my Andra 2 speakers.
In the end, I preferred the spikes that came with my speakers and sold the Cerapucs.
