What's under your bookshelf speakers?


I recently picked up a pair of ProAc Tablette Reference 8 Signatures in bird's eye maple for my office system. I would like to protect the finish on the bottom, but also preserve/enhance the sonics. At the same time, seeing as how this is in my office, I would like to keep things visually discrete. Currently, I have a small mouse pad underneath each one, and in truth, this seems like it might be a viable option. However, I haven't tried them with another product underneath them or with nothing underneath (don't want to damage the finish), so I am not sure what sonic effects the mouse pads are having. The system sounds pretty good as is, though.

Thanks, Tom.

I can also vouch for cork...which can be found in smaller "panels"...and which has a harder density fiber board on the back...these were often used to assembly cork wallpaper...which I had as a kid...and is much more durable,affordable, etc. than thicker slabs of pure cork(the cork is actually only on one side)...and to my ears doesnt "deaden" the sound as much...good luck...
