The granite slabs that I tried under the speakers were 12" x 12" and were designed to go under electronic equipment. They have a constrained layer of dampening material between two layers. If you look at my system pictures, you’ll see larger versions under the electronics. They work like crazy under the electronics, but the smaller ones really sucked under the speakers.
After trying the granite platforms under the speakers, and not liking the results, I placed them on top of the speakers where they fit perfectly. The added weight was akin to adding mass to the speakers, and that brought about a nice gain in SQ from placing them there.
The Mapleshade maple platforms as described above were much larger and thicker than the granite platforms. The Mapleshade platforms, plus the ten-pack of SR HFT’s placed around the room as directed, combined with the granite platforms on top of the speakers, gave the system outstanding bass and improved everything dramatically from top to bottom.
