So......what do you use under your speakers?


Looking to replace the stock spikes on my new speakers (Vivid Audio) that will make improvements in sound as well as give me a little more height. I have a commercial grade carpet over concrete with no padding. Not really looking to alter any frequency range but wouldn't mind general overall improvements in clarity, imaging, etc. I have been looking at Eden Sound Terracones, Stillpoints and Wave Kinetics. Price is not a deal breaker. TIA.
nobrainer
I use Edensound bearpaws under my speakers and turntable very happy with the results.
You are basically saying you bought new speakers, but you do not believe Vivid Audio knows what they are doing. Spikes will in fact alter the tonal balance. That is what changes the way a speaker images. It is no secret, manufacturers of stereo equipment have been playing this game for years. It used to be desirable to maintain as much warmth as possible and still have good imaging, but the scale is swinging the other way with imaging heading the list of priorities. The question of the day is how vivid is your system and how well does it image? This is why we have audiophiles who listen to live unamplified music and say their stereo sounds better.
It might be a good idea to contact Vivid Audio regarding your concrete floor. They may have some suggestions for you.
When you contact Vivid, ask them at what height they expect your ears to be, and then tell them what height your ears actually are.

I can't say that I've experimented with all the brands that you've mentioned, but I was very impressed with the sound of Audio Points by Star Sound Technologies. Specifically the 1.5 AP-A's.
