Dragging my speakers off the floor after a visit to a friend's place
I watched a movie at a buddy's place in Austin and his $150 used towers on cinder blocks sounded way clearer than my $400 setup sitting on carpet. Grabbed a pair of yoga blocks from my gym for $6 total and the bass tightened up so much I feel dumb for not trying it sooner. Has anyone else found a stupid cheap tweak that beat an actual upgrade?
Read some forum thread about how carpet eats low end because it soaks up the vibration, and hard surfaces let the speaker push air proper. Seems like you found the same fix for six bucks.
