..got busy and lost track of this thread..I meant to post back with results. I picked them up and instaled them. Originally the speakers were sitting on the carpet that on top of a suspended wood floor-loft. The next step was to use countertop sink cutouts..and there was a marked improvement in tightness (prat?) in the sound from what I could tell. I then swapped out the sink cutouts for the slate slabs. I gotta say, things still sound pretty sweet. Certainly no loss from what I had and I think it's a bit better. Surely looks 100% better and is still a marked improvement over the speakers just sitting on carpet. All theories aside...I think the slate a keeper.
Slate under speakers?
My system - listening area is on a suspended floor loft. Wood floor with carpeting on it. As a trial/experiment I currently have formica covered countertop sink cutouts under each of my Snell Type AIII's. No spikes...just sitting on top of the carpet. The difference was an easily noticable tightening up of the sound...more resolution...so I'm looking for a more permanent solution.
I came across some slate slabs (1 inch x 22 x 34 inches) that would would fit under the speakers nicely. Has anyone used slate in this way? If needed I could spike the platforms into the floor.
