Vandersteen 3a sound anchor


I am the proud owner of a used pair of Vandies 3a signatures. I got them for an amazing price at 1000 dollars with music wave ultra xl cables. The only question I have is I have wood floors. The sound anchors that came with them made the speakers unstable on the flooring. I took them off but how am I supposed to use them? I did not see any directions on how to use them in the manual and there did seem any obvious way to set them up properly. A huge thanks for anyone that can help. BTW I would call my local dealer here in Utah, but I had planned on buying a pair of 2ce sigs from him and I feel rather embarrassed for backing out of the deal (I couldn't live with my self if I passed up this deal).

Go to the hardware store and get some carriage bolts & nuts. Carriage bolts have a round head and will not damage the floor. For extra floor protection, add some felt to the bolt head.
Carver52 - I agree with John (audioconnection). Any dealer, especially a nice one, should understand that not everyone can afford to buy new retail. One thing I usually do before buying used on Audiogon is to check with local dealers, who take in plenty of stuff on trade-ins. If they have nothing that works for me, then I shop Audiogon and other classified sites. But your dealer should understand that you found a great deal, and that it leaves some money in your pocket for other potential purchases. You can also thank your dealer for his time with referrals. Just make sure your referrals mention that you recommended them to the dealer.
I really appreciate alll the responses. I'll contact my dealer and be sure to give him refferals and any future buisness I can give him. Thanks And I'm still loving the vandersrens
