I've a confession to make don't tell my wife

Well I've been living with my Nautilus 803s for a couple of years now. They're placed on the carpet about 9' apart and about 15' back from my listening postion with plenty of space behind them. In the packaging there were a couple of (wimpy) jumper cables and some silver pointed thingys. Well I just put those pointed thingys on the bottom of my speakers. The speakers were great before, fantastic now.

Please forgive me.
