Mapleshade boards under speakers

Hi,
Anyone try these, either the finished or unfinished, 2 or 4", with isoblocks or brass feet?
My floors are soft yellow pine, and I've made overall improvements using a panel of birchply under them, wondering what the maple would do? He certainly makes great claims for them.

Thanks
Chas

Chashas1..If you find the maple isnt all its suppose to be like I did ....I went to a local headstone company and bought a left over scrap 1" thick slab for $15.00..it measured 4'-24"...Cut it myself using a circular saw w/diamond blade..cant get any cheaper than that...

I'm a big fan of maple platforms, the thicker the better. Deliver me from granite. Obviously YMMV :-)

Platforms under speakers alter the dispersion characteristics of a speaker no? I tried it and hated it. Under my subs however..now that did wonders for them:O)

Right now I'm trying a 2by2 sheet of 3/4"thick birch ply, and loving it, tight, articulate, without accentuating anything. The maple has to be better than this or it's going back.
