Granite Slabs

I agree with Gregm.

I did marble slabs under my speakers and the bass and soundstage improved. Additionally it seems to have made the definition of instruments better and less muddled or as gregm says CLEARED.

yeah Gregm might be right...

I too own a pair of Paradigm 100's. I also have wooden floors. However, I am currently using Polycrystal spikes and Cone Coasters and have noticed a slight improvement in bass response.

Where would you normally buy granite slabs? I'm thinking about raising my speakers a couple of inches and at the same time giving them a firm foundation. I will probably need two slabs 14 x 13 x 2". What places would be willing to cut them like that and do you know how much it could possibly cost?

If you're not TOO worried about the looks, find any local stone yard. They have "scraps" that they can let go cheaply, heck, they're usually happy to get them out of their place.

I got my 12" x 12" x 16" blocks for $50 apiece (~300lbs each !). I got a 12" square by 4" slab for $20. I then got a 25" x 18" x 2" AND a 27" x 19" x 1" slab for $30 the pair. The latter slab has a "groove" through it, but it makes no difference to me !

MUCH better than paying hundreds for some of the stuff you see here. You give up the best fo looks, but functionally, they are 100% great. And if they go under equipment or speakers, most of it isn't visible anyways !

Sorry for the diatribe, I just wanted to pass on potentially money saving advice.

Good luck !
