I found a website that sells marble and concrete speaker stands or plinths. These allow you to take advantage of spiking your speakers with out damaging your floor @ www.2ndflooraudio.com. I have carpet, but whats nice is I purchased the optional spike kit, and they installed the threaded insert for free. (I've tried drilling into marble and wasted a lot of time and money on diamond bits.) If you have wood or laminate floors you can get the deluxe spike kit that has a deeper divot and would be nearly impossible to knock out and cause damage to the floor or just use their attached pad with no spikes. First, I already had my speakers spiked through the carpet, but when I used these stands I found more bass, bass accuracy and a more defined sound-stage. My system never sounded so good! It's super easy to level the stand first then put your spiked speakers on the stand. They are a lot more stable than they were, and I found it's easier to change toe-in and position for personal listening and re-adjust for when I have company or for a more open sound stage. The marble looks great (the wife likes) and I improved my sound, these are great for some one who can't make their own and they offer a less expensive concrete style too. Definitely worth a try.
