Reynaud Magic Stand, spikes on carpet?

Blue Tak between the speakers and the stands, more Blue Tak between the stands and the floor. That should do it.

Bobneill, I'm not sure you want to put blue tak between the stands and the carpet. I don't see that doing anything besides ruining the capret. Phil, if I were you, I'd probably look into cones. If it was explained to me correctly, those stands don't have holes that go all the way through the base plate? Thus eliminating a way to put spikes through the base. Brian has some brass cones that you may want to look into. You could always hot glue them to the base of the stands. Just an idea.

Thanks Bob, my speakers have something on the bottom that is tacky and about 3/8" diameter and 1/8" thick, I will ask the seller what it is as I presume the Trentes are not sold with it on. It seems to be almost the consistancy of blue tac so it may be alright.

That is a good idea Seth and will look into all my options and report back.

As far as sound quality, I think the tonal balance of the speakers is very nice with the stands on the carpet but I think the bass is 'soft' in a manner similar to a friends speakers who had the front of his sound anchor stands on a throw rug, the definition is 'muffled' and the coherency of the sound suffers. In comparison, with the speakers sitting on cement blocks that I used before the magic stands, the bass was tight and powerful with slam.

thanks again guys and I will see what works and report back
