Back to the original topic, the current plan is to drill a hole into eight hockey pucks (four per speaker) and put the spikes into them. Then put the speakers on two slabs of granite or marble. I sent an email to Herbie of Herbie's Hush Puckies last week and called too. No reply so far.
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.

Competitively priced with the Townsends is the Boenicke Swingbase, which has been around since 2010. 6moons has a preview for a review going on and here's a video of the base in action: So many ways to skin the cat. No intent to highjack this thread but to point out that if one wants to really isolate something from below, this is one alternative that goes even farther than springs. All the best, |
Sorry I’m so late to the discussion. I just saw this. If I were in the same boat, the first thing I would do is go to s store that sells bricks/patio pavers/ blocks and look for the concrete formed, big, patio blocks. They usually have designs on the top, but you should be able to work around that. Or, look for blocks with a nice, flat underside. Get yourself a pair of those and experiment with the different ideas, If you find an idea that sounds good to you, then you can get fancy and buy some granite. Who knows, you might decide your speakers on top of concrete gives you the sound you desire.
