alternative to speaker stand spikes?

I use and also sell granite slabs for speakers. Although, not the cheapest fix out there, they offer sonic benefits of deeper tighter bass and better soundstage. You can use your spikes but they cannot come in contact with the granite or the midrange might become matalic (I use and would supply custome wood spacers. Now if you are thrifty, I have been told that hockey pucks work just fine on their own (between spikes and wood floor) Good luck

Audiopoints make "Coupling Discs" which protect the floors and other surfaces from the points on spikes.

Check out the coupling discs sold by Adon on Audiogon. They are identical from both a material and construction standpoint to Audiopoints only much less expensive as they are made outside the US. NO SONIC DIFFERENCE at 1/4 the price.

NOT the same as Audiopoints.
NOT the same materials.
NOT the same geometries.
NOT made in the US.
DEFINITE sonic difference.
