Spikes on tower speakers

To be clear, this is not about protecting the floor or carpet, it is how to stabilize the speakers that have spikes which can't be removed.

OP, are the spikes going completely through the carpet and making full contact with the floor?

No, not even close.

No, not even close

I have thought about using granite or marble. But will the spikes resting on that provide enough stability?

Wow, some great ideas here. Replies to some posts:

Can't contact original owner (not the seller to me). He is no longer with us.

Anything involving spike removal is not feasible either logistically or it's beyond my capability or my unwillingness to make this a life commitment.

So how to deal with the spikes. They do not go through the carpet. Can I simply rest sharp spikes on granite or marble? Should I force them into a soft wood base? Should I try something like the Hush Puppies recommended above? Again, this is not about protecting the floor or carpet, it is how to stabilize the speakers that have spikes which can't be removed.

Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and suggestions.

The Piegas weigh about 40 lbs. each, not as heavy as most. The cardboard approach might work. I tried it before but didn't go the distance with awl and hammer. will give it a try.

The other approach, based on discussions above, involves Herbie's Hush Puckies on granite. This seems the most logical to me. I was considering actual hockey pucks. I have sent an email to Herbie, no reply yet. As you may have noticed, it is harder to get businesses (or individuals) to answer the phone these days.

Thanks again. I appreciate these and any other suggestions. Will let you know how it goes. (Not an empty promise.)

To be clear, the spikes are not removable for me because they are strongly glued onto the speakers. If someone knows how to loosen the powerful glue, please help. Otherwise I need to sink the spikes into something that then can be put on a carpet or on a base that goes on the carpet.

The speakers have four spikes each. How would the cones be attached to the speakers? I would like to include a photo of the spikes but don't see how to do. Thanks.

Back to the original topic, the current plan is to drill a hole into eight hockey pucks (four per speaker) and put the spikes into them. Then put the speakers on two slabs of granite or marble. I sent an email to Herbie of Herbie's Hush Puckies last week and called too. No reply so far.
