Thiel 3.6 and 'grounding' / insulating


I have a lovely old house with hardwood floors. I just bought a pair of Thiel 3.6. I plan to use the stabilizing pins / spikes provided with the speakers (probably put the spikes on quarters or something). My question: would it be worth my while buying a pair of thick (2 inches or so) granite slabs to put under the speakers with the spikes? Has anyone tried this and if so, what were the results? Thanks.

Pvanosta, I've had 3.6's for about 3 years now and find Goertz MI2's to be a nice match, Thiel does also. These cables give a more fleshed out, full bodied presentation in my setup. Also these speakers respond to every inch you move them which can be maddning. I currently have mine 9 feet apart and about 4 feet from the front wall and 3 to 4 from the side wall - which allows me to point them straight out with no toe in. This gives me a very wide seemless soundstage - the speakers also sound more open, less boxey when placed further apart - but YMMV
