Spiking speakers not designed for spikes?


Has anyone had good luck doing this?  I have some PSB Stratus Golds from 1994 that I'm having problems upgrading, so I'm going to try tweaking what I have.  They have these cheesy, wooden bases that I'm nervous about removing or drilling into.  If I do decide to spike these suckers, would anyone recommend outriggers?  Or trying to attach spikes directly to the speakers.
Thank you for your time!

Millercarbon is a smart human.  Back in the 80s, we did exactly that with solid machined aluminum cones under floor standers.  The effect was immediate.  We used a 3 cone system for each side.

Another possible upgrade is simple crossover and wiring work.  Keep same values of caps and find some decent Solens or better.  Almost any decent speaker cable wired in is an improvement over stock wiring.
halecory,

Obviously, the improvement is quite subjective and if it’s painful to deal with the nuts and bolts of it......bail.

Of course the spikes or TipToes are easy to try.
