Using platforms / shelves under floorstanders?

instead of spikes (which can mar the floor, are impossible to move easily, and tightly couple vibrations), has anyone tried using something like a maple / acrylic shelf under their floorstanders?

i see mapleshade markets them, but no one else seems to.

In my trials, I've found, that maple under the speakers pretty much kills the sound. Sistrum SP-101 is so much better. With time, I'm going to get rid of the maple in my system alltogether.

I used a sandstone slab + nordost pulsar points, but find a Symposium Svelt shelves + Rollerblock juniors, a significant improvement on a suspended wooden floor.

Hi,

I have thick carpet and I use the spikes but the speakers don't stand solid because the spikes seem not to punch through the carpet. What do you suggest for speakers with thick carpet?
Thanks!

Worldcup,
Carpet-piercing cones ( Mapleshade, Audiopoints by Starsound Tech.)It's imperative spikes are coupled to the floor under the carpet.
