I actually used soft feets tuned to the speakers weigth but they are rather thick not only a felt piece , sort of floating suspension . The resonance frequency should be realy low with the rigth feets . The speaker is actually more still at audio frequencies this way . Another positive side effect is that the speakers does not tranfer vibrations to my hardwood floor . Besides spikes drives the mechanical resonance into the midrange .
It can actually be a question if interior design , in countries with a lot off wall to wall carpeting the spikes could hep in actually making the speaker stand on the floor not the carpet . Then they are beneficial . The spikes delivered with the speakers are probably just fine . Pandoras box is more like thoose aftermarket carbon fiber cones and whatnot , and people put those under their DAC , or spikes on the hifi stand . Here are the feets i use . http://www.sonicdesign.se/sdfeet.html They of-course try to sell them for CD players too ,thatÂ’s more bunk than science but hey they want to make a buck lie everyone else . And they to have testimonials on their site *sigh* Sometimes its just fashion statement from the speaker manufacturer , like bi-wiring binding post that are standard ( even if they are useless unless you biamp ) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
