Floorstanders on wood floor, help

Aurios under the speakers! I like to use a set of 4, not 3, under each for stability with speakers. You will need some type of boards (mdf), concrete, marble, or tile under the aurios, between them and the carpet, to maintain a hard and level surfaces. The aurios will tighten the bass bloom (or "boominess", as I prefer to call it) and will also improve staging, imaging, and PRAT!

Thanks, Fp.

I've always had trouble getting my head around bearing devices beneath speakers. I understand how they could isolate the cabinet from the floor and reduce boominess. Shouldn't they also free the cabinet to move backward whenever the cones want to move forward, thus rounding off transients? Whatever happened to Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?

Please understand, I'm not doubting what you've heard. I'm just trying to understand it.

Perhaps the answer lies in Newton's 2nd Law of Motion: the forward-moving mass (a few ounces of cones + air) is so much less than the backward-moving mass (65 pounds of speaker) that the backward acceleration is negligible. If you fire a bullet through a sheet of paper the bullet is no doubt decelerated, but you'd have a tough time measuring it. Have I answered my own question?

If Aurios are good, would Stillpoints be better? Not only do they add isolation in the vertical plane, they're half the price! Anybody?

My final solution was to place a 24"x24"x1" granite slab on the carpet and Aurios MIB between the granite and speakers. Works for me. Also got decent results with Nordost Pulsar points and GS DH cones, which are considerably cheaper.

The slabs are a good idea, as are Symposium or Audio Resolution or other "draining" shelves. Actually, the shelves over granite slabs may be an awesome combo !

I have granite blocks wqith shelves, for my VMPS monitors, and they do a great job.
