    Raising small floor standers - ?

    I can screw spikes into the bottom to " ground " the base's - the speakers are on metal bolts directly into wood not on carpet . Honestly I don't think I heard any difference - so I opted for the convenience of mobility .

    I've acquired a pair of S5e's [ too good a deal to pass on] . In listening I'm pleasantly surprised at the sound quality . Having owned a set of A5's [sold them prematurely] , the S5e seems more opened - relaxed than the A5 they don't give anything up in accuracy as far as I can tell . I think...
