To couple, or not to couple. If of the 'not to couple' school purchase some half inch granite to put the spikes on. Of course they will need WAF. Granite goes for about $40 per sq. foot these days.
You will usually suffer less damage if you stick spikes in the floor, not the wife.

I've used these previously, and they worked great.
I use Lovan footers. They are thinner than many, but are made of hardened steel so seem to hold up fine. I put thin felt under them so I can move the speakers easily. Unfortuntely, they come in a pack of 6 (there stands are often 3 legged), but some places sell them individually.
