What spikes , if any, do MBL 101E's owners use?

Cyrus, thanks. Regarding the height that was a concern of mine also but prior to actually installing mine I did some experimenting and did not notice much if any variance and in the end was not concerned. You might want to do it also, with your listening chair add a cushion or two which in essence would prop you up higher, obviously this is only for experimenting and see what happens.

Dev, What speaker cables have you tried on your 101E's? Are you bi wiring them?

Cyrus,

I had VD Genesis 6ft bi-wire speakers cables originally and then switched over to two pairs of Stealth Dream per speaker so I'm true bi-wired.

From what I have read most MBL users are using Tara Labs, they say the speakers do not like any Silver, there is Silver within the design if the Dream cables but I have not had any negative issues what so ever.

I actually use Stealth product through out my system, two Indra's for IC's between dac to pre and from pre to mono blocks in XLR connection.

I use a Sextet digital from transport to dac, AES connection.

All power cords are Dream, 5 of them.

I have tried a few others and to date I have found that I'm very happy with Stealth within my system and my cable hunt has ended. Once I get my amp situation figured out, it could in the end possibly be more than just amps so my cable situation may change, time will tell.

So did you do any experimenting with listening to the speakers and putting your self at different listening heights. What was your outcome?

Dev, Yes I did and with my listening position fairly low to begin with, it just is not pratical to use a pillow or something to get my ears up to where they would need to be. I will now probably just go with the Sp-1-A with one and a half inch spikes as Robert suggested. I will report back whenever I get them.

Dev, Do you know if you can use both the XLR and RCA impits from the 9008's. I was thinking of running my Berkely Alpha dac direct into the 9008's for two channel via a xlr cable and a rca to my pre. for HT.. I don't want to change cables when going from HT to two channel.
