Removing spikes... Now my speakers sing


Have you tried to replace the spikes under your speakers, and replace them by footers ?  I find a better unity in the music from my speakers, and beefy sound, and more natural music.

Or, hang the speakers and the listening couch/chair from the ceiling and take the floor completely out of the equation. Problem solved. 

Spike or not to Spike the question is!

My listen room is 16'X24' with arced  beamed ceiling with carped covered suspended 2nd floor. I used my Sennheiser condenser Calibrated mike thru real time analyzer + sweep tone generator on a mike stand toward the spot my Wilsons spiked sit on the floor above. MATERIAL USED.

Best results" 1"1/2 Birch 4 ply Rectangle 2" larger foot print the than the SASHA. Then off to the Hobby store. 5#s RED modeling clay(Zero REZ.)

Laid same 1" thick over the Birch. Ran same sweep# 2 Low Feq test. Results 80Hz>250Hz spike down 4db. Upstairs Bach Organ selection and Boston Pops Live in London RCA  6'dia Drum for the first time could now hear it's skin "MORE CLEARLY."

p.s. Not sure if green clay would have proved better?

WOW! Geoff actually can deviate from making witty, snide, insulting remarks to imparting meaningful, helpful information....Way to go Geoff!

@labtec   I stand corrected!  I forgot that you were not using the spikes. I actually have a Bright Star sandbox on top of my Target amp stand with my amplifier on top of the Bright Star.

Your point about chairs, listeners heights varying is, of course, quite correct.  As a Vandersteen owner I am perhaps over sensitive to the height issue as Vandy's have to be pitched just right according to listener's ear height for the treble and imaging to lock in.
