Removing spikes... Now my speakers sing


Have you tried to replace the spikes under your speakers, and replace them by footers ?  I find a better unity in the music from my speakers, and beefy sound, and more natural music.

I've experienced significant gains in transparency and cleanness of sound by decoupling my speakers from my carpeted basement room.  After hearing the improvements in the main speakers, I decoupled the subs.  Have great tight deep bass and greater transparency still as the ruckus inherent in subs. is not vibrating my rack mounted gear.  YMMV.
@labtec  Ther last paragraph in your post would, if employed with most floor standing speakers, raise the tweeters much too high relative to the listening seat going against the speaker manufacturers recommendations, throwing the sound out of balance.
@labtec   I stand corrected!  I forgot that you were not using the spikes. I actually have a Bright Star sandbox on top of my Target amp stand with my amplifier on top of the Bright Star.

Your point about chairs, listeners heights varying is, of course, quite correct.  As a Vandersteen owner I am perhaps over sensitive to the height issue as Vandy's have to be pitched just right according to listener's ear height for the treble and imaging to lock in.
