wooden floors or carpet?

after a number of experimets of what to place under the speakers i figured that the best surface is vinyl record placed over the carpet.
you can leave your wood floors but lay a pieces of carpet and your bad and scratched analogue records under the speakers.

If you don't use carpet, you should have some area rugs on the floor in the 1st reflection zones of the floor, as well as wall treatments. Hard floors reflect alot of sound.

Lak's suggestion of coupling discs is a good one to protect the floor from the points.

I never tried Marakanetz's vinyl records under the speakers.

Lak is right on, however, I would couple to the floor--- carpet or no carpet. You'll love it. A little area rug (or big one, depending on your room size) might help things, as well. I'm a big believer in coupling: EVERYTHING! peace, warren
