Planet10,
What do you expect from the 7ms compared to the 7.3, considering the bass response?

Of course. There are two listed on the site to circumvent any Spam issues. Used both.
I think Dave's struggling a little with emails at the moment; fall out from a heavy snow-fall a little while back and sorting through a backlog, as well as making progress with his health. He's around though, so keep an eye open.
Email backlog from a heavy snowfall is a little weird. But I do empathize with health issues and hope it’s not too debillitating.
Not very weird when you consider that he might have had a power outage (since he lives half way up a mountain), and therefore limited computer access for a few days.
I am officially semiretired and a lot slower, plus we have been snowed in which has skewed things (rehab takes more time in the snow, aand unlike most of the rest of Canada, don’t usually get snow). I have a number of emails i have yet to get to answering. Paience please.

Up on the mountain we are still buried in snow. Enuff that we can’t come all the way up the driveway and part of that is near ice rink condition.
Just hoping fresh snow holds off long enuff for the snow to melt. Some solid rain would help there.

Hello again,
They are finally put together 🙂. I'm going to wait with the finish until I've tested them, too hyped to wait any longer. Also, if something is off and I can remove or add stuffing etc.
At the moment I don't have anything to put them on. I started googling about "spikes" and it seems to be kind of controversial subjects. Half of the people say it is snakeoil, other half says its not.
So, what should I get? Some rubber pads, some super expensive spikes (I personally don't feel like they will make a huge difference other than perhaps look good) or something else?
Best regards,
Fredrik

If you wish to try a set of spikes, but do not want to spend lots of money, I have a DIY suggestion to offer.
Purchase a package of Arrow tip inserts, and a package of "bullet point" or "field point" arrow points. You can construct some "outriggers" to mount them in if you don't wish to bore holes in your new cabinets to test them.
I searched out a few links on Amazon, but the bits should be available in any store local to you that specializes in Archery.
Simply bore the correct diameter hole for the inserts, and glue in place, when the glue has set screw in the arrow tips.
I don't have a diagram but will share a couple links, I think the idea should be obvious from there...
Inserts:

Bullet point tips:

If you're going the spikes route on a wooden floor (as mightym suggests) I would strongly recommend the addition of some discs/feet to keep from having dents in your floor while you figure out the best location for your speakers.
Here's some examples: Amazon.com: Speaker Spike discs

I like the Sonic Design feet from HifiKit.se. They are not really visible against a wooden floor and don't risk any scratching.

Squash-balls cut in half are a low cost option, as are felt furniture pads, if you don't need to punch through carpet to ensure stability.
We use felt pads. Even on the spikes, we remove the point and put a felt-pad on it.
Spikes can be devastating to your hardwood floor or rug.

Here are my spikes. I felt some difference on the deep bass region, less Boomie and more detail / notes separation. It's wood with a metal ball at the end. The speaker is on a wood base with aluminium stripes as you can see.
