In Reply to: Isolation / footer options on rug with wood floor under posted by kh6idf on October 23, 2019 at 10:00:32:
I use small square rugs, slightly larger than my speakers, under them, w/plastic feet covering the spikes ( Kef 104.2 ).
I tried spikes years ago, thought the sound was etched and hyped compared to the plastic feet on rugs.
And they left holes in my apartment ( at the time ) floor...
There is a Tibetan Store in Berkeley Ca where I got my small rugs.
They would help protect your larger rug from imprints, but over time it may happen anyway.
Isolating or decoupling with the rugs makes the best sound for me on my speakers.
Even plastic feet directly on the hard wood floor doesn't sound as good.
