Out on the tiles...with speaker spikes.

I've just recently moved into my new house, which is entire tiled. I want to continue using the spikes my speaker and stands have, but don't want to scratch the tile.

I know several companies make little 'feet' to go under the spikes. Does anyone have any experience with these? Which ones seem to be the best as far a keeping the speaker stable, not raising them too much and obviously not damaging the tile??

Thanks for any help you can give me!

Apc-d coupling discs from Starsound will give you the most improvement in sound. Lak is correct these work perfectly on all types of wood or stone products and they are an extension of The Audiopoint so they do improve energy transfer.. Its a combination of material [ brass ] and the geometric ratio by design..

I second TWL's motion for coins or hockey pucks. No need to spend a lot on tweaky stuff. One friend bought round lamp finials made of chrome plated steel. The tips of the spikes dropped into the threaded hole and the overall effect was to protect the floor with a distinctly high tech look.

I used a spade bit to cut a depression into the middle of a hockey puck, and dropped the cone-point's floor disc into that, so that it was flush with the top of the puck. That gives you a little more lift, and makes the floor disc a larger target, so it is much easier to position under very heavy speakers. Looks fine and works great.

Twl has the expensive version.($.25). I use Nickels, and for some things pennies.
