Leveling spikes for speakers


Lucky me. Nice floor standing speakers sitting on wall-to-wall carpet laid over a concrete foundation. Nice heavy duty brass spikes came stock on the speakers, so everything should be nice and solid. Right?

Well, except that who ever built this place apparently didn't know how to finish the bloody cement! The slightest move in any direction means pulling the bubble level out and re-leveling the speakers. Actually, it's not so bad since the speakers are where I want them.

Except for one thing. The stock spikes are designed with a level floor in mind. Unscrewing them to level the speakers introduces enough slop that they wobble around which is counter productive. Does anyone know where I can get good quality adjustable height speaker spikes or cones?

Oh, the speakers are Hales Revelation Threes and take four spikes per speaker.

You may want to ask for AN washers. The AN stands for Army/Navy. These washers are thinner and a smaller diameter than a standard washer and will offer finer adjustment when stacking them. Also, you may want to find half thickness jam nuts. While I'm not familiar with your speakers and the spikes used, I would guess that the spikes thread into an insert on the bottom of the speaker. Assuming you have enough thread to accomodate the jam nuts this should make things more solid once tightened.
