Where to buy speaker stand spikes ?
Thanks to everyone for the advice. I'm not sure about the option of granite slabs as I have carpeted floor. Just use long bolts is an interesting suggestion, I'll give it a try since it would be the cheapest solution. Thanks again to everyone. 
Where to buy speaker stand spikes ?
Thanks Lak. I checked out the site, it has lots of 'points'. At $20-30 a piece, it is a bit on the expensive side. For a set of 8 this could mean over $200, half the price of a decent stand !! Does the improvement in sound quality justify that ? T... 
Sonus Faber vs B&W

Levinson 39 or Wadia 830/850/860 ?

Levinson 39 or Wadia 830/850/860 ?
Thanks Ejlif. Where can I obtain a copy of the Stereophile review apart from ordering a copy from them (this could take a few weeks) ? I realize this may be a bit too much for me to ask, would you be able to post a short extraction here ? Thanks a...
