Vibrapods under speakers


Has anybody done this? I have Proac's with spikes on a medium pile carpet and on the second floor of my house. Of course the floor beneath the carpet is wood which the spikes are into. My question is that I want to put 3/4 inch slate down, take the spikes out and then put the vibrapods on the slate then the speakers on top,is this a better setup or am I decoupling my speakers from the room? I don't know if this is a good thing or not and was wandering what you all thought before I buy the vibrapods. Thanks, John

Like others have said, they are an incredible improvement, and at only 6 bucks each! I use 6 #5's under Maggie 1.6's metal rails. They improve detail, transients--listen to how natural guitar music sounds. Only concern I have is that even the hardest #5 pod seems to get squished over time, losing its capabilities. Supposedly you can heat them, but I dunno. Ah, they're cheap, get a new set annually.
