Yes sir... Can't place the runner or regular spikes on the granite slab. I tried the rubber spike supplied by Tannoy but they seem to have lost their grip so placed the speakers directly on the granite...Panditji, the squash balls are between the floor and granite, right? Is the base of the speaker cabinet reading flush on the granite?
It's nothing when compared to the pounding they got on the squash court which made them split right down the middle.. They are resting in peace now absorbing some lovely music...Those squash balls must be regretting whatever they did in their last life !

Lovely symmetric arrangement. Pleasing to the senses.My speakers are about 24 inches from the back wall and about 39 inches from the side... Have kept them straight facing but after putting the squash balls, it's difficult to experiment with them.. Will try placing them 1/6 and 1/5 across the length of the room and see which is better...
From my (quite) limited knowledge this is to do with standing waves as dividing by even nos will give spots where there is a cancellation of a wave and hence standing waves while if odd, it will not cancel out.Panditji, it’s either 1/3 or 1/5 or 1/7. Not 1/4 or 1/6. I don’t know the explanation for this.
The distance of the woofer centre from the 3 nearest surfaces i.e floor , side wall and front wall should be different from each other , preferably by a ratio of 1.61 as per the golden ratio concept.How much the ceiling height matters?
Oops, silly me as I thought any ratio would do.. Will try 1/5 or 1/7 as I can't get the speakers out 1/3 into the room..
I read that as 'half squashed' balls and, to me, it 'sounded' really painfulOff topic....are half squash balls able to take the weight of the speakers on granite...without getting squashed.
Panditji, also from side walls, try a 1/3 or a 1/5
Can you please explain this, Prem? I’ve experienced that while vocals get reinforced as one brings the speakers closer, the soundstage (in terms of breadth) shrinks. So when you say it ‘improves’, are you referring to some aspect of the soundstage other than its expanse?Getting speakers closer together improves soundstage contrary to popular belief.
do you find an improvement with granite slabs on ? in my case granite slabs open up the bass and treble but makes music less organic.
