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?

Some people who have tried both spikes and softies prefer one and some prefer the other. As I remember a lot of those who use rubbers, utilize them in a slab sandwich - more fun, less attractive. Spikes appeal to me only because their purpose is to better inhibit speakers from rocking. The energy used in rocking is information lost.

I used to have a house with hardwood floors; thought the discs 'n spikes worked quite well, but never tried squeezable alternatives.
I will second the opinion about the nickels below the speakers.

I use pennys below my spikes. It works quite well, However depending on the wieght of your speakers you might want to spring the extra 32 cents and use nickels.

The Copper in the pennies is softer and a really heavy speaker with spikes can drill there way through a penny over a few months. I just colored mine black with a Jiffy marker as not to stand out.

All, who have opted for the conecoasters, from Sound Anchor, made the right choice. I also use them under my Dynaudio stands. The felt pad underneath the conecoasters allows me to slide the speakers for easy placement.

I use the Audio points and coupling disks on my oak floor with great results. Although the brass coupling disks are expensive I find the sonics to be an improvement over $.05.

I agree with Lak. I use Audiopoints under everything in my system, including the battery pack for my Teres (had an extra set).
