Got some herbies spike decoupling gliders...jury is still out.

Put them under my 1.6 which are on mye stands with the mye brass spikes. I used to have a very firm Maggie with very little movement, with the spikes piercing through carpet to a wood floor underneath.

Now since installing these, there is obviously more movement and I feel the bass is fuller, highs are smoother, but leading speed has suffered. Not sure if I like the effect 100%. I feel like I've some resolution. The system just sounds a little lethargic, although the bass is quite full and natural. It just sounds so polite.

There was a bit of hardness to the sound before, but I guess I may have liked some of that hardness to a degree. I'm going to continue to get to know them before I pass final judgement. Not sure if they are staying.....these may be better suited for speakers other than planars. I think rock solid motionless Maggie's may be more important rather than coupling vs. decoupling floor born vibration.
