Best treatment for speaker feet????

Nsgarch: Interesting opinion. I respectfully disagree about the spikes. The flooring makes sense though.

I totally disagree with Nsgarch's comment that decoupling is always inappropriate. With carpeting, coupling makes sense because the carpet pad drowns out the resonance. On a wood floor with floor standers, decoupling is the only way I've ever had success. I actually went two years with my speakers on Aurelex Grammas which are made for guitar amps that sit on raised stages. I would spike your speakers and be done with it. I use a caliper to get three of the 4 spikes set even with each other and tight and the fourth one close to the other three(always leave the front right side as the loose one). Once in place, you set the fourth spike.

Jaxwired. I didn't see you response to me from the other day. Those outriggers look like a great idea for your situation. I'm glad you like Herbie's because I have some Tenderfeet coming for my CDP and Big Fat Dots to put between my speakers and stands.

Stanwal... as fate would have it, I received the following E-mail from the organization you refer to where-in you say "There was a really good looking outrigger base with spikes for a not totally unreasonable price but the web site has disappeared and I fear they are gone".

I purchased two 3/8” thick steel plates that are 1” inch wider and longer than the base of my Avalon’s… I drilled and taped holes in each of the corners to screw in 3/8” x 2.25” spikes… I covered the bottom of the plates with Rope Caulk… and to level them I beat them into the plywood sub-floor with a dead-blow hammer.
