A friend just spiked his Vienna Acoustics Bachs, and reported to me that the treble became too hot. I've not heard this result before.He's in an apartment, with concrete floors that are covered with medium thickness wall-to-wall carpet.
He calmed down the hot treble by putting the metal discs under each spike (the ones that come with spikes in case you are resting the speakers on hardwood floors). This seems sub-optimal to me, because the metal discs rest on the rug, which is now preventing a rigid/solid spike to the floor.
Thoughts?
