Reynaud Magic Stand, spikes on carpet?

I just bought JM Reynaud Trente speakers with the JM Reynaud Magic Stands and this is a wonderful setup, very refined, detailed, and dynamic yet full of life and emotion.

My question is: has anyone tried spikes under the Magic Stands and do you prefer it?

Mine are sitting on carpet and a little wobbly, but there does not appear to be an easy way to put spikes on these stands. There are holes on the bottom but they are not threaded.

Some people think the Magic Stands are designed to sit flat and not on spikes as they operate in a different way than most speaker stands.

thanks for any info

Phil:

I used sturdy 28" Target stands with Twins (big improvement over the Magic stands/Twin combo auditoned in a SOTA listening room).

If the blocks sound better in your room then follow what you hear.

None of the pro reviews (that I am aware of) tried the Reynauds on sturdy 28" stands (24" stands just don't cut it from my experience, with the Twins anyway), which is both lame and a shame as much better sound can be had.

Think my Target's were $250, or so, on the used market, but there are many others to choose from.
