its a knee pad
But has anyone tried it under a component?
Tried different things with speaker mounting over the years, solid stone floor and found spikes worked well with the different speakers I’ve had.
The big Impulse H2’s played nice with a heavy floor tile under the spikes, with other speakers the slab just sucked the bass out.
Go figure, maybe not a one stop solution for every setup?
Happy to have settled with what I have, best sounding combo for my speakers.
Herbies Sliders sat under speaker outrigger feet, and sat in Isoacoustics Gaia carpet spikes.
A faff to get them fitted, but worth the time.
My systems got some low end welly, with speakers mounted this way there’s no bass interaction at all with the floor.

I know it shouldn't matter, but they do look really good :)Quote:

I think I used them once, on the bottom of stands when I had some little Mission speakers. That's decades ago.
If you think about it, it's difficult to see what they are supposed to achieve.
Well in the olden days, when hifi speakers tended to be fridge-shaped they'd happily stay where you put them, but as speakers got taller and narrower the smaller footprint made them less stable, especially on carpets.
true, but unless the spikes were on outriggers, they weren't going to widen the footprint so wouldn't improve stability unless you hammered them deep into the floorboards.Quote:

A Billy Bonus is that the speakers sit rock solid on the floor, zero wobble, but as the sliders sit on the carpet discs I had a few degrees of play to dial the toe-in …in.
Speakers isolated from the floor with the feet sitting in the Herbies sliders, and the whole speaker assembly clamped to the floor through the carpet spikes.
Advantages of speaker isolation and coupling to the floor… Best of both worlds?
Dunno, works well though.
