hi there all,we are redcorating the lounge,my new speakers will be going in here has anybody any suggestions about speakers being placed on a ceramic tiled floor,wondered about the sound ,im only used to speakers on carpeted floorin,thax for any reply,cheers maria:cool:

May sound a bit brighter due to reflections from the floor. If it's a problem, a rug may help. If your speakers are spiked, some one pence pieces under the spikes will protect the tiles.

I would stick with a carpet covering if you can, it will give the best results imho.

You need a carpet or at least a large rug between you and the speakers. You will also need damping, such as curtains to soak up the wall reflections. I have a ceramic floor and it sounds good.
