Changed the feet on the bottom of the 2 Pi Towers.
Had been using socks 'cause they allowed sliding the speakers around easily. Folks like Linkwitz cautioned against using spikes on wooden floors saying you didn't want to couple the speakers to the wood. So socks were the quick and easy solution.
Changed out the socks for some rubber feet - the feet used under sofas to protect the floor or carpet. These aren't audiophile approved but just happened to be lying around the house. They sound quite different.
At first it seemed like the rubber feet reduced bass but after listening for a while there's less smearing of notes. The rubber feet are cleaner sounding and, I'm assuming, doing a better job of isolating the speakers from the wooden floors.
Can anyone explain what is actually going on? I'd have thought the socks would isolate better and the rubber would transmit more into the floor.
