HenrikTJ Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Hi Do I need to decouple/isolate the 2015 RP-line speakers seeing as though they already have a base attached to the bottom of the speaker? (My floor is parquet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glens Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Rarely does a speaker which produces bass work better not being coupled to the floor. If you're talking about spikes on a fancy hard floor, then no way I'd do that. I'd use a set of mini furniture sliders whatever the speaker had for feet in such a case. The imaging may suffer to a very minor extent, but so be it. I never sit fixed in one position to eek out the last tiniest bit of subtile imagery anyway... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenrikTJ Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) Its just a normal parquet floor with different shades of brown pieces of wood attached together. Yes, in addition to spikes and those little circles, I also had isolation bases in mind. But if simple furniture sliders have the same effect, then that would certainly be a much cheaper solution. Thanks. woops, meant to quote you on this one glens haha Edited February 13, 2019 by HenrikTJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Every speaker I have goes on a rubber mat of some kind. This is not an audiophile secret, it's just my personal preference. I'm not worried about the sound, I am more concerned about not scuffing the floor or speaker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could give you a link to that item but I deleted it some time back. Pretty easy to find online. Start with a search of a large hardware supplier like McMaster Carr. Good luck. https://www.mcmaster.com/threaded-feet Keith 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2K Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Oh yeah, various sizes perfect for spike replacement/isolation. Keith 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
