As you can see on these pictures the owner have put a marble slab or something like it under the speakers... why?

I have the same speakers and i wonder if i should do the same, what effect would it give?

It helps reduce the amount of vibration transmitted directly to the floor, which reduces sympathetic resonances in the floor (providing you have a wood floor). Those speakers appear to already have feet that likely have spikes as well, so the marble really doesn't add much more than the spikes already did.

okey, but i dont have spikes on my.

So if i get plates like that, my neighbors won't be so pissed of?

but no, i have concrete floor and walls :

they should be better than a peice of marble, right?

If you have concrete floors, marble underneath isn't going to make a difference at all.

Marble looks nicer.

(okay, okay - cheap shot, but I couldn't resist!)

I was going to add marble/granite slabs under my speakers for another reason. I have some Audio Pro Black Diamond speakers that are ported on the bottom. Even with the spikes the port comes close to the carpet. I changed my mind after I saw what this would cost me.
