Well, not quite so simple. Merlin VSM's allow for the option of 3 or 4 spikes. I listened to both setups and found that four spikes sound better in my room: more full-bodied, etc. So back to leveling with 4 spikes. Sorry, no easy trick I can think of, other than deep breathing, logical thinking and a quality leveling tool. And do your best to get them rock solid.
