I'm experimenting with the Totems sitting on 1/2" marble tiles in a carpeted room. I removed the spikes from the base of the speakers and put tiny rubber bumpers in place of the spikes. Aside from looking more exotic, I think they sound a little better. Base seems a little tighter and the over all sound is cleaner. Am I just imagining this or does this reduce vibrations and help clean up the audio. I also have them mass loaded, but that was done earlier. Any thoughts on this?
