Well those 1/4-20 spikes I am using now cost me ca 10$ each X 8 = ca 80$ and I don`t see them as expensive comparing changing out cables.. Now I am almost scared to ask about the prize you would pay for a set of 8, spikes?

Islander hehehe that was a big whoppps, they live near Oak Bay in Victoria hehehe quess the travel agent would laugh just as much as me now :-D

Zuzu hmmm that I didn`t know, I`ll try that and will listen for changes in the sound.. Thx for the tip!

Zuzu These are the type I am using, just got my new 1/4" by mail and it was a perfect hole mach into the Klipsch plastic foot :-) And the good thing with them I can adjust each of the 4 to overcome floor beeing uneven putting the speaker to a perfect 90`degree... All Soundcare® spikes are spikes with a rounded tip (0,5 mm in diameter) standing in a crater with a flat bottom. In this way we get a very small contact area combined with enormous strength. Load tolerances is only of theoretical interests. For standard spikes you can put 400 kg per spike, for the TITANIUM models even more. The Soundcare SuperSpike is an assembly of : An outer, sturdy, clean looking housing of ABS plastic (standard version) or polycarbonate (High-End version) (1). Spike made of first class case hardened steel (2). Zinc casing (3) that reduces resonances in the spike and is specially designed to hold the plastic housing when the equipment is lifted. Zinc disc (4) with a mild steel insert (5). Self adhesive felt disc made from 1,25mm quality felt with permanent fairly high coatweight tape. Double coated tape, 3M 9573 high performance permanent tape (only the self adhesive version). Lock nut. (only the threaded versions). The Soundcare SuperSpiked foot is an assembly of : High quality self adhesive SuperSpike. An ABS foot (6) that can easily replace most of todays feet on Hi-Fi electronics. (Diameter 55 mm).

Islander. That look like a great boys room!! :-D but as you say, I did expect them to be bigger! Well when I am gonna visit my uncle/w fam in Victoria Falls I`ll send you an mail for demo hehe

Marvel Good day mister. Sounds like we have have the same type of winter, 10 degrees C to day and -5 degrees C tomorrow. We had a hurricane last weekend, left almost 2meter with extra snow at the family cabin. To bad we didn`t get any of that here, only rain. But the thing with the stove, it`s also an furture investment if you are planning on selling the house. Houses around here that have stove and AC included are not on the market for very long, my quess it`s the same where you live? Almost 100% of all the houses built here now are all electric heated, like you are mentioning, what if the power is out.. Do you got any home page for your stereo setup? If not you can share it on www.avforum.com

Islander Those look beautiful in mine eyes, but how is the WAF? You have the same taste for sound quality as I do and I quess that`s why we both have ended up with Klipsch speakers. My neighbour got Sonus Faber Stradivari Homage on BAT poweramps and even he starts to like Klipsch hehe I`m sorry to say that I don`t know that MX-D1, better google it :-) I`ve got 2 x Rotel 1091 amps on Hegel P2a MK2 preamp and it sounds great, can listen to music for hours without becoming tired. If you had lived here in Norway I would liked a demo nigth hehe Do you got a link to your stereo? Bjoern

Hello Bruce. Yes the wood stove are in regular use when the tempeture are close to freezing point. We used to have the sofa on that wall i now have the stereo so me and the misses had some good times with good music and some wine & cheeze. Alwyas a winner and it keeps the wife happy :-) Where is it you live? Bjoern

Ey islander. Yes klipsch have threaded holes for spikes, well atleast all the models I have seen so far have extra holes for that on the platic feet. Thats beacuse the original spikes ain`t very good. The last owner had mounted the metric (M6) spikes but there are no problem getting soundcare 1/4" spikes for me but the main reasson I am asking is that, are there any differense between the European model and the US/UK Klipsch model? OR do all klipsch get manifactured with Inches for the spikes? I`m getting blown away with the pure "live" and brutal sound pressure coming out of the RF-7, I`m more used to some bigger, Infinity Kappa 9.2i series2 ( you can see them on the link I posted, second picture from the top) where the sound are more cleaner compared to the RF-7. What is it you have for sound listning pleasure?

Ey guys. I just bougth my self RF-7, these was delivered with M6 spikes but the spike threads are 1/4" on the speaker foot. That I know because the soundcare spikes are not fully mounted, tops 3-4 threads into the hole. So my question is this; I live in Norway (thats in Northern Europe for those who wonder), and bougth the speakers used here. When I look at this link http://www.soundcare.no/threads.htm I see out of that link that Klipsch are using M6 threads. Could it be that my speakers are not the european version with metric threads but are imported from the USA/UK? OR are all klipsch delivered with inches? I`m sort of confused here.. A link for my page; http://avforum.no/minhifi/show.php/Balarsen sorry for that it`s not in english but as they say a picture says more than thousand words :-) Thx for all comments.
