Got mine on spikes, on top of 1.5 (or maybe 1.25, don't remeber) inch granite slabs (custom cut and polished by a stonemonger down the street), and the slabs each on a trio of those "magic" sliding furniture footers. I've never critically compared alternatives, but figured it's got to be better than sitting directly on a suspended wooden floor and I sure do like the way it looks.
Slate under speakers?
My system - listening area is on a suspended floor loft. Wood floor with carpeting on it. As a trial/experiment I currently have formica covered countertop sink cutouts under each of my Snell Type AIII's. No spikes...just sitting on top of the carpet. The difference was an easily noticable tightening up of the sound...more resolution...so I'm looking for a more permanent solution.
I came across some slate slabs (1 inch x 22 x 34 inches) that would would fit under the speakers nicely. Has anyone used slate in this way? If needed I could spike the platforms into the floor.
