Longer speaker spikes or granite/marble/wood platform .

Due to a longer pile in my new carpet my rather short spkr spikes do not penetrate to the wooden floorboards as much as i would like .
Looking for reccomendations on my best way forward .
Should i simply get longer spikes or go for some kind of base to place my speakers on?.
I have Monitor Audio silver 200 7g speakers .

 

Isoacoustics with spikes

 

Thanks for the idea , but i should have mentioned i am looking for a fairly low cost solution

 

For $150, you could get two of these.
15 x15 inches. Larger size available too.
Auralex SubDude-II™
Available from Amazon, Crutchfield, & others.

 

If I were happy with the speakers spiked to the floor through the carpet, I'd get longer spikes and carry on.

 

I bought a coupleof 3.5 cm thick birch chopping boards and placed my speakers on them with spikes into spike cups .
Fantastic result
Cleaner bass and tighter sound all around . Happy days!

 

try different woods, pavers, granite.
they all have a signature to me.

 

Longer spikes

 

I tried some paving slabs and they gave the same improvement as the wood blocks , but were not a good look in my lounge .
Very happy with my set up now so am going to stick with it

 

Go to a local hom improvement store and get however many concrete edging pillars you think you might need. $2.79 each at Home Depot here.

 

Thanks .......... but i don't want that in my lounge .............. or even my garden

 

Fair enough... Nothing wrong with settling for lesser isolation. And paying More for it.

 

I built these for peanuts, I prefer not to couple directly to the floor.

 

They look great Tim 2 .
Those speakers look a bit tasty too

 

Isolate
Townshend speaker stands
There are cheaper options as well

My spikes were gone the day I heard the Townshends
