Spikes on tower speakers
+2 elliotbnewcombjr.  Not everyone is comfortable with this approach but for the mechanically inclined I would have no issue with this. If however, the glue was inserted into deep holes predrilled into the speaker base, then we might have an issue...

Sound is better when I stand up?
@Samao i had Ref 3A GV’s for years. Tosh Goka always advocated fine tuning of the front baffle with the adjustable feet. Can’t tell if you have stands that provide that ability.

Open Baffle Experience
