Do you have a suspended wooden floor / floorboards?
Unsure about just how hard you need to push those wickedly sharp spikes in the base of your stands into the floorboards?
You are looking to ‘couple’ the stand to the floor, not join it like hammering in a nail!
Why not do away with that worry once & for all... get a pair of our speaker stand bases.
Screw IT to the floor with 3 screws through the countersunk screw holes. (Being very, very careful about the length of screws used as we don’t want to go through the floorboards and pierce any pipes or wires running underneath!) This will act as a direct path ‘to earth’ for any un-wanted vibrations. Put your stands on top of bases. If you want to make absolutely certain that they won’t move, press gently on the spikes - hard enough to mark the laminate. Remove the stand, then with a 2 or 3mm drill bit, drill a hole 1mm deep or there about where each spike will sit. (This could well be done for you by your dealer if so required).
(Please Note – You would ONLY screw these into place when you are ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that your speakers are in the correct position for you in the room. Again this is an area where your dealer may prove to be invaluable.)
Replace the stand, level as usual, and you can now be certain that the spikes will couple correctly, yet should not be able to ‘join’ the laminate as it is so hard.
We can make these to any size you want – standard thickness is 13mm, but most seem to prefer the 20mm, probably down to the overall look of the product.
We have found that they work better than the average concrete slab that some use, and they most certainly look a lot better!
Sizes. Made to order.
