Vandersteen 2wq Subwoofer Help

It seems to me, that the speaker was designed for spikes. If you like the Vandersteen sound, you should use them as intended. If you need spikes call Richard or your local Vandersteen dealer. All balls, blocks, new power cords, etc. makes the speakers sound different, but not better...but they are yours and you should do what you think you want to do.

I'm wondering if the mat won't be counter productive by reducing the vibrations that help bass resonate with the floor. I put my ear against the top, and could hear the bass and feel the vibrations which must help the overall sound(feeling). Won't more resonance be created if the sub is the height of the spikes off the floor? Did you get the high pass filter and setup instructions? The subs are side ported so mostly vibrations are coming out the bottom. Let us know what you find.

I'd use hard steel points in small steel protectors.Eperiment with bit of mass loading under as well.Mybe a heavy iron amp stand from Sound Anchor.
