What spikes , if any, do MBL 101E's owners use?
I use 24" X 24" granite with mdf platforms under my SF Strad's with great results. I bought them from Paul @ Adona Corp. I could now position the speakers much easier (by myself) as well as have them closer to both the back & side walls with better imaging & soundstage. Will cost more than the 2" X 2" squares, but will look much better & will do the job right! |
In general, you can couple the speakers to the floor using spikes and have the vibrations pass on through to the floor or you can isolate the speakers from the floor. I have Opera Platea floorstanders and prefer to go with a vibration isolation/ control approach. I live in an apartment house on a busy street in Queens (NYC) and feel that vibration control is more of an issue. I use neoprene rubber/cork isolation pads on top of 1 1/2 inch thick bamboo cutting boards to eat up the vibrations. System sounds great. Regards, Rich |
