Definitely. With the KEF’s, I could never play them loudish. I was having issues with my ears hurting when playing sax, electric guitars or female vocals (ie Joni Mitchell) and I wasn’t playing above 80db! With the SF’s, I can play things a lot louder without my ears bothering me.
So there’s a 15’x15’ bonus room in the basement, and that was the original music room. The carpet was added because we have a couple of dogs that love to play and when they get going, they’d fishtail around corners and slide into things and either hurt themselves or knock stuff down in the curio cabinet. The family room became music room two a couple of years later, so the carpet was a bonus.
Thanks for the kind words. The reason I’m not using the carpet spikes is because I have Oak hardwood under the carpet and pad, and the spikes would scratch them or at the very least they would leave divots. When I told the dealer that my speakers weigh 132 pounds each, he said they’d leave marks.
