I'll try another tack.
For those with wooden floors:
How do you interface your floorstanding speakers with the floor?

4 each 1" square, 3/8" thick adhesive-backed rubber pads of he kind sold for
setting equipment on hard surfaces. In the US a common brand is "3M". My
speakers came with both them, and spikes.

Thank you.
Exactly what I wanted to hear.

I have a few old carpet tiles. For such purposes I'd tend to cut some small
squares out of a carpet tile and use these as 'feet'. :-)

I suspect an old mousemat may be OK. However they may have a tendency to
disintegrate with time.

Slainte,

Jim

In the past I've used small blobs of Blu-Tac. Not recommended if the
floor will mark, though. If it made any difference to the sound compared
with spikes, I couldn't hear it. I just got fed up with the speakers
sliding around at every opportunity.

Maybe I'm just lucky, but both my speakers stand solidly on the floor
without any help.

How do you that there is no micro-buzzing?

The stands are solid slate, weigh a ton, and I think maybe they have
by now sunk their own pits in the maple. Micro-buzzing might be added
entertainment, though - like a kazoo.
