Hardwoodfloors and Spikes


What's the best to use under speakers on hardwoodfloors? Spikes with a base of some type under it or a "rubber" type foot?

Just put something beneath it. Some people use Nickles, some people might put the speaker on a slab of granite with felt beneath to protect the floor, and then some spikes come with small trays that sit below the spike to keep it from damaging the floor.

Rubber feet are always the worst way to go in my opinion, if you have hardwood floors you should still use the spikes but put something beneath them to protect them.
I've been very happy with the conecoasters I bought from soundanchors.com, they work great with spikes and hardwood floors!! Hope this helps!
I'd recommend going straight into the floor with the spikes. Putting anything between the spikes and the floor begins to defeat the purpose of installing the spikes in the first place.

And provided you do not drag your spikes across the floor the tiny indentation is so miniscule, only you will know they are there. (assuming of course that your speakers do not weigh 800 lbs each)
