What spikes , if any, do MBL 101E's owners use?


Anyone have any suggstions on what spikes, if any, they are using on their MBL 101E's? Also, what effects are you hearing with or without spikes?

Dev, From the Sistrum web site, it looks like the sp-1 platform is 17 inches wide. My 101's are exactly 17 inches wide at the base. How do they fit under the speaker? Thanks, Cyrus
Dev. Great advice. Thanks. I am going to order a pair. I noticed from their web site that the SP-1 are 4.5 inches tall and the SP-1-A is only 2 5/6 tall. It seems like the Sp-1-A would bethe way to go? An thoughts on this.
Dev, I will talk Robert tomorrow and get back to with what I find out. My guess is that the SP-1-A was not made a couple of years ago.
Dev, Looks I will not be able to get the SP1-A until mid Jan. Robert says they are on backorder.
Dev, Robert actually thought the SP101 would be the best, but I did not want to raise the speakers that high. We settled on the Sp 1-A with one and a half inch spikes. I believe there are some legal isues with VD and Sistrum that I don't want to go into on this forum, but I certainly side with Robert from what I know.
Dev, Roberts order of preference is as follows: !. Sp 101 2.SP1 3. Sp1-A. I am just concerned with getting the tweeters any higher off the floor than they all ready are.
Dev, Yes I did and with my listening position fairly low to begin with, it just is not pratical to use a pillow or something to get my ears up to where they would need to be. I will now probably just go with the Sp-1-A with one and a half inch spikes as Robert suggested. I will report back whenever I get them.
Dev, Do you know if you can use both the XLR and RCA impits from the 9008's. I was thinking of running my Berkely Alpha dac direct into the 9008's for two channel via a xlr cable and a rca to my pre. for HT.. I don't want to change cables when going from HT to two channel.
Dev, What would be your take on the 101E's mk11? Have you heard a pair? Thanks, Cyrus
