I had Wilson MAXX and for what you pay for the MAXX you would think the spikes would be high quality, but they aren't. I love Dave Wilson and Wilson speakers, so I am not critizing his product overall, but the spikes on the MAXX and the WAtt/Puppy need upgrading. I purchases some brass custom Audio Points that were more solid and gave better rigidity than the Wilson spikes; and to me improved the sound. They are worth the money! Check them out at www.audiopoints.com Don't spend the money they are asking for Wilson's spikes, they aren't worth it.
Wilson Spikes
During a little confusion getting my Sophias shipped to me, the spikes were forgotten. This has sionce been resolved, but as a result of my inquiries I felt I needed to ask.
I was quoted for a set of replacement spikes - £350 - not dollars - pounds. I guess this is about $600 for eight spikes.
I read in my new edition of audiocandy that a set of spikes can be had for £3.95 - say $7.
What benefits does Wilson claim for these spikes? And was my local distributor just trying to take advantage of my difficult situation at the time?
