I use Adona 24" X 24" granite/mdf platforms under my speakers & the results are amazing.
Better base is just the beginning as I was able to place the speakers closer to both the rear & side walls.
I must disagree with the use of spikes - I can now position my speakers all by myself - which is a major accomplishment (especially on carpet) as the speakers have 4 spikes & discs attatced to the bottom of the metal bases.
My new listening room has cork floors over concrete & the speakers are further from the rear walls but still very close to the side walls & the sound is still fantastic.
Probably the best $500 I have spent on any tweak!
BTW - The graphite SF Stradavari's look even better on the granite bases which is another plus.
