While I personally agree with the reasoning and experience of the above posts, I would note that John Dunlavy (Dunlavy speakers) does not use spikes on his well regarded speakers. Why? He just says that they don't "measure" better with spikes. I just wanted to see the contrary opinion noted, and no, I don't own Dunlavy speakers. Cheers. Craig
Why Anchor Speakers?
Since we're on the subject of vibration tweakage, should speakers be anchored to the floor? If so, why? My speakers are on stands which rest on carpet, and I am considering spikes which will anchor the bottom of the stands through the carpet to the flooring. Should I do this? What should I expect to hear differently?
