Do you need feet on your tower speakers if theyre on carpet?

I know your Salks came with spikes as part of the kit. Mine are really nice bullet shaped ones that seemed too nice to toss aside. Did you use them?

Yes I use them. And no they don't take a divot out of the carpet. It does make it difficult to move them.

… So, I used some matching planks of wood underneath the speaker and then set the spikes in to those.

Don't those wooden planks uncouple the decoupling?

Try with and without and hear for yourself if there's any difference....just saying.

My DIY tower speakers are on carpet.... do I need floor spikes for them?

you raise a good point. know your own local variables and your own local challenges. Know what you face and implement those ideas that help you, not necessarily what some experts on a forum think is a great idea.

That a good looking Bull Dog!
My dogs like being near the subwoofer for some reason when I play music but not when I play action movies... That avalanche at the end of War of the Apes got them worried!
