Speaker spike feet?


I recently acquired a nice older hifi system with Aerial Acoustics 7B tower speakers.I am not an audiophile. The speakers have heavy iron bases on them but there are no feet of any sort on these bases. I emailed the owner/designer at Aerial and he sent me a schematic of the bases which show that they originally had spike feet. He said he could provide the spikes at minimal cost. I was afraid to ask what minimal meant since I seem to remember that these bases cost $400 when new. (I'm still getting accustomed to what things cost in the audiophile world.)

I am wondering if I really need the spikes. These speakers sit on a carpeted floor with hardwood on typical joist construction floor. They sound quite good to me but if spikes would help in any way and I can get them cheap then I will do so.

I'll ask Aerial how much theirs cost but I'm pretty sure that stainless steel tripod (for photography) spikes will fit the 3/8-16 threads in these bases. The cost would be about $40 for those. Maybe the actual Aerial ones wouldn't cost any more but they are longer and look very sharp which makes me wonder about floor/carpet damage since these speakers weigh around 110 pounds each.

The spikes in the link provided by Yogiboy look like they are mostly for adding to speaker cabinets that do not have bases or sockets for spikes.

My bases have threaded sockets for them. I think I will just see how much they are from Aerial or contact the seller in that link for thread measurements.

Many of those have metal plates for the spikes to rest on. I'm assuming that is just for hard floor since it would defeat the purpose on carpet.

The hardwood under my carpets was never meant to be seen. It is an old house and this is the type of under flooring they used before plywood. So I'm not worried about it. Just don't want to tear up the carpet when moving the speakers, etc. Will just have to be careful.

”Just don't want to tear up the carpet when moving the speakers, etc”

so go to Lowe’s / Home Depot and get those furniture mover disks.
