You really should try both ways yourself and evaluate the results. My speakers are spiked....I decoupled them and which were a large step backward.....I understand with your wood floors the results might be reversed. (travertine tile on cement slab)
To Couple or Decouple?
I've recently purchased a pair of Acoustic Zen Crescendos. I now have them positioned in the room, and I am ready to add the spikes. The floor in my room is a suspended wood type. After researching whether or not to spike speakers or decouple them on a suspended wood floor, the majority seems to recommend not spiking them directly to the wood floor, but decoupling them. So here are my questions:
1). Do I couple or decouple?
2). Anyone use the Boston Audio Tuneblocks S under your spikes? How do you like them?
3). Any recommendations of other decoupling devices to use?
Thanks for you input!
