My priority is zero noise transmission to my neighbours, as I live in an apartment
Do spikes isolate or lock the speaker to the building structure? If I sit it on pads how much would that affect their quality of life?
Obviously volume is most key, that’s never over moderate, but I want to enjoy my music without being a total dick to those around me
I live in a micro studio apartment.
I keep my speaker stands spiked, and they sit on two layers of carpet. No subwoofer.
Only once did a downstairs neighbor complain. It was a work night at 2330ish.
