Spikes versus Rubber on wood floor?
Obviously even well constructed speakers vibrate or spikes would not work their way right through pennies placed underneath them. Given all the divergence in answers, I decided to approach this logically through a hypothetical example. Please tell... 
What Irish music will you be playing on St Pat's?
I'll tell you one CD I will not be playing. A few years ago when I was new to Amazon, I went on looking for a CD of great Irish music with all the Favorites such as When Irish Eyes are Smiling. I picked one with the title Danny Boy that was review... 
Mapleshade Silclear
I talked to Pierre at MapleShade today. At the risk of being inaccurate, he feels that SilClear can never become an insulator, as suggested earlier in this thread. The only explanation he had for degradation would be that the product was put on to... 
One year anniversary -what have I learned?
I like to think of us as passionate. Maybe we should put out a bumper sticker that says Audiophiles make great lovers!

Markphd Thanks for the reminder I will look up the old thread 
Spikes versus Rubber on wood floor?
Mt thats an interesting suggestion. I like the sand part as it should not transfer vibration and the price is right 
Spikes versus Rubber on wood floor?
MarkPhd Thanks for your input. I have been scanning threads for awhile but found them confusing, particularly when you add in the different needs of different components and types of flooring, so I thought I would post just for my speaker applicat...

Krell Resolution 2's VS Polk Audio LSi15
Not to argue and perhaps my ears are not the best but the Jr's sounded great in two locations that I listened. One was about 10 feet wide by 15 long sheet rocked and the other 9 by 12 by my guess with glass behind them. In both rooms they were pla... 
Krell Resolution 2's VS Polk Audio LSi15
Lush, more in the price range of the Polk's, how about a used pair of Von Schweikert Vr jr's, they have been running about $2,700 used. I heard them recently and liked them better than anything else I heard including Wilson Sophia and the Krell Re...

My pleasure 
Krell Resolution 2's VS Polk Audio LSi15
I auditioned both but more than six months apart. Both were set up poorly but the Krell had a better front end support. I now own old Polks that I have liked and gave the LS15 a fair hearing but in that setting where they were being compared to So...
