I don't know why you don't have the spikes, but I would contact Von Schweikert.

As to the "3 positive and 3 negative connectors". These speakers have the option for tri-amplification (a separate amplifier for high frequency, mid frequency and low frequency drivers). To tri-amp them you remove the jumper straps and the data link cable. If you wish to drive the speakers with a single set of cables, you will need the jumpers for the lower cabinet installed and the data link cable in place.

The two sets of binding post on the bottom are for bi-wiring if you are using the data link or if you take out the jumpers you can run a length of speaker wire from the top post on bottom cabinet to the post on the upper cabinet.

So I would not be connecting anything to the bottom connectors on the bottom cabinet?
