Protection !..think protection !!

It just dawned on me that you're all going to hate me because I'm probably the only saddo here who knows what they're for, and you lot won't give a rats arse about the real answer !! Fundamentally they are for protection...protection of what from what !!

When you put that they're sponge-backed, it got me thinking. Sponge backing is typically used to absorb shock, cut down on vibration, or prevent slipping. Do they maybe go under speakers?

YES !!

But only for a very specific reason. To protect nice wooden floors from the Spikes screwed into the underneath of speakers to fix them in place and so disperse the energy through the cones instead of through the cabinet !...same applies to smaller speakers on speaker stands which also have spikes.....sorry for the anticlimatic answer....still love me ?



If your floor is carpeted then you don't need them..they are purely to protect  nice wooden floors from speaker spikes, which make nice holes !!
