    Granite???

    Has anyone used granite under their speakers? Did you also use spikes under the granite/between the speakers and granite?

    Is the sound better using granite versus just spikes? Any details will help.

    Thanks,

    Dave

    I use granite under my sub woofers in my setup in a room with wood floors and a basement below (wood frame house). I also use SoundCare Super Spikes under the granite bases for the sub woofers, and under the other floor speakers that sit on their own custom stands.

    The granite does a great job of eliminating the vibrations that occur throughout that room and the house structure when the subs are active. The combination of the granite bases and SoundCare Super Spikes also tighten up and define the bass better, IMO.
