Out on the tiles...with speaker spikes.

I've just recently moved into my new house, which is entire tiled. I want to continue using the spikes my speaker and stands have, but don't want to scratch the tile.

I know several companies make little 'feet' to go under the spikes. Does anyone have any experience with these? Which ones seem to be the best as far a keeping the speaker stable, not raising them too much and obviously not damaging the tile??

Thanks for any help you can give me!

Use coins under the spikes. Only 25 cents each.

Judit, as we know, there are proper applications for different coin denominations. Obviously you are aware of this, and I was simply mentioning my use of the 25 cent application. However, I would never be "nouveau riche" enough to use 25 cent models, when 5 cent models will suffice. :^)

Edesilva has a good point(ha!) that some very heavy things could punch through the coins. That means that the frugal audiophile will have to resort to "punch outs" from steel electrical boxes, which are about the size of coins, but made from steel. Still cheap and effective.

I don't like to spend alot on certain simple tweaks, because then I can spend more on my new amps, or whatever.
