RE: Mye stands on carpet

What increases the detail, quickness and resolution of Maggies on stands is not any coupling affect with the floor. It's the rigidity that it adds to the speakers; same as all speaker stands. When dealing with high notes as small as 1/2", much detail can be lost from the shaking of the speaker body. When you make the speaker/frame more rigid, then the diaphragm transfers more of it's motion to the air. What you hear is more detail, resolution, quickness highly focused imaging. When I put speakers on carpet, I first cut a 1-2" "X" in the carpet where each spike lands. I then take a large screwdriver and tear the padding underneath so that the spike is in good contact with the wood subfloor and NOT floating on the non-rigid carpet. A final foot-push on the stand above each spike gets that puppy nice and rigid=no vibrations.The bracing is icing on the cake.
