Happier than a puppy with two peters.
Sounds confusing to me, don't know what I'd do with two, one gets me in enough trouble as it is.
Anyway, I understand and agree with your assessment of the speaker spikes. However, this type of subject will generate all kinds of contention within the thread. I for one have always been a proponent of spikes and use them exclusively, until lately. There is a movement for using isolation, either pucks or platforms. I haven't embraced it, but I see their arguments and agree that their points can be valid. And when setting up my HT in my new digs I did as you have done, moved them around sans spikes, found a placement, and installed the spikes. For this one installation, the sound worsened, midrange shouty, highs raspy. Perhaps the carpet (very deep pile and plush high quality poly) adds an isolation that's working, dunno, don't much care. But your results are the norm in my experience, better bass, tighter and more articulate, with an increase in midrange clarity.
