    I'd put a call into Adcom customer Service before I strapped anything. Better safe than POOF

    Strapping the negative outputs will result in diminished sound quality. I heard it with my own ears on an Adcom and it wasn't exactly subtle.

    I've had great luck (sonic improvement) with all types of speakers using spikes (without floor protectors) on bare concrete, bare tile, bare wood, carpet covered wood and carpet covered concrete. It's easy enough to test, so go for it!

    Try it for yourself, but whatever the results keep them to yourself.

    Is it true what I heard that speaker's spikes can really damaged oak hardwood flooring? Is there anyone who can give me a review of it?

    Nice to see that flagging spammers seems to get them removed of late... 🤔

    Good point. I'll remember that. I'm use to being able to go back and edit my posts on other forums but Vanilla puts time limits on editing posts.

    I'm glad to see that flagging the spammer resulted in his post being removed and him being banned permanently.
