Tweak for Magnepan users

Forgive me if this thread has previously wound it's way through here, but I am a new A'ger. My Magnepan MGIIIa's have been sitting on my heavily carpeted floor. They have always sounded great but due to their height and weight, they were mushed down in the thick carpet/pad.

The other day, I went to a local granite/marble company and got two 1 inch thick blue pearl granite slabs (very nice to look at: black w/blue and pearl shading) cut to fit the Maggies. Cheap(relative to how expensive our hobby is), and fairly heavy. Each slab weighs in at about 50lb.

Slabs on the floor, Maggies on the slabs. HUGE difference in my room. I'll spare you all the usual - suffice to say "there is much more there, there"

Rock solid imaging (pun intended), air, bass extension. And an added benefit: The speakers seem much more stable.

Anyone else ever try this one?
