I have done much experimentation in this area. Go to local
dept store and get 2 18x24 glass cutting boards, cost $5-10
each, use marker and layout speaker base dimensions, locate
glass boards on carpet where speakers will rest. Now arrange your vibrapods in the speaker outline you just drew,
and carefully lower speaker down on them, spikes removed. The speaker/glass base can be slid on carpet to fine tune placement. You can use slate or whatever for firm smooth surface on carpet, but glass cutting boards are cheap and invisible, carpet shows through.
As for sound, much different than brass spikes which I also use under speakers. Sound will be smoother and softer, perhaps some small amount of detail lost, but bass is strong, 3D imaging quite good, very natural sounding.....if you are a detail freak that likes cones and silver cables, this will not be your cup of tea. Your instincts will tell you this can't possibly work, as slight push of your finger
will cause speaker to sway, but I think results are definitely worth the small cost to try. I currently use brass spikes but may go back to vibrapods under speakers in the future.
