Improving sub quality


I am close to pulling the trigger on a REL B3 sub, and wanted to know if anyone has noticied an improvement with replacing the stock footers (plastic) with a high grade cone/spike? I did hear a difference with switching out the stock PC, so maybe cones/spikes will make a difference too? Sub is on low-medium depth carpet.
Thanks,
Mark

Keep in mind the new Brittania woofer is front mounted. Like all speakers with front mounted woofers, using spike WILL improve the coupling of speaker to the floor and prevent the drivers from shaking the whole box and smear the sound. Subwoofers are less sensitive to time and image smear, but you will still gain pitch and speed by rigidly couple the sub to the floor.

Old ST series do not benefit from spikes, but that is NOT true with the new B series.
