Years ago our living room was on a ground level concrete slab. Spiked feet on my heavy speakers worked great. My current living room is a suspended frame floor with carpeted sheathing.... the same spikes on the same speakers just exaggerated the resonance of the floor, and bass was boomy and ill-defined. Spring pucks worked much better in that situation. YMMV. As @hilde45 says, "do something" and see....
Pads or Spikes?
Perhaps you can help?
Quite a few currently sold speakers utilize four spikes on the bottom of the speaker. I have a tile floor with a large area rug. My speakers however are on the tile. The question is are speaker pads better than spikes? If so, what brand of pads are recommended? Thank you!
