Spikes on tower speakers


This is my first post here, just getting involved in the earlier stages of serious stuff. I recently bought a pair of Piega p4L MKll speakers. They sound great, at least according to my perhaps unsophisticated ears.

My question/problem: The speakers have spikes on them that cannot be removed because the previous owner glued them to the base. Becaue of the spikes, the speakers are very unstable on the carpet in my listening room. I need something that the spikes will go into so that the speaker towers will be more stable. So far, neither plywood nor small metal speaker spike pads have worked. Am now considering carbon speaker spike pads and hockey pucks to get the spikes into and then a bigger base, such as wood or even granite/marble.

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions that would solve this problem.

+1 @toro3 Pick up a couple slabs of granite or marble from Home Depot and put the Herbie’s Puckies on top.  But, if you can afford them, Townshend Seismic products would be all you need and likely greatly improve your sound — read the reviews…

Best of luck.

I’d go with the granite/marble but I’d also use the Hush Puppies or your speakers could easily slide off the stone if someone bumps into them.  Or, you could just try the Hush Puppies alone first and see how that works — you can always add the granite/marble later if you want.  I would.
