Would spikes help me?


I have Tyler PD80's with sub amps built in. They are 65 inches tall and weigh in at around 230 ponds each. Right now they are on carpet over a wood floor. There are no feet on the speakers whatsoever, so the base (18X14inches) sits flat on the carpet. I really think they should be sitting on something. There are threaded holes on the bases they look to be 5/16. What could I expect if I were to add spikes? If I did add spikes, which spikes would you recommend?

Thanks

Audio Points.

What you should hear is potentially little or no difference for the first 8 days or so.

But what you will hear after this settling in period is extended highs with a more natural extended decay and increased speed and dynamics. You should also hear a deeper more defined and controlled bass. Moreover, you should hear a deeper and wider soundstage with better imaging and transparency.

Newbee has a point about the 4 points for safety, but 4 points are also a great potential for compromising sonic improvements of using products like Audio Points.

3 points make a plane and provide the best method for coupling the speaking to the subflooring system.

4 points create uneven rocking scenario and greater difficulty for properly coupling to the floor.

-IMO
