I bought my KLF-20’s new in 1998 and this picture is from the manual and is the way mine came. The spikes were in a Spike Kit and the Threaded Cabinet Insert was covered with the Vinyl Cap. Essentially you could use them without the spikes installed, but the caps would wear over time if the speakers were moved very much.
Is what you refer to as a bolt actually the threaded insert like in the manual's picture? You can buy different styles of feet (spikes or rubber) with threaded inserts that will screw into the Threaded Cabinet Insert.
Edit to add: the threads should be 1/4-20.
Yes. This klf 20/30 pic shows the 'threaded cabinet insert' . It is metal. It's threads extend/screw about one inch into cab base. It has a threaded hole in it's center - end to end of the 'insert'. Threaded central hole is for spike cover and spike itself.
The vinyl cap is i suspect what functions as a foot, as alternative to spikes.
I have pretty good idea how spike (klf) system works.
How the 'vinyl cap' looks and how it attaches to the 'insert' is not clear to me.

Thank you epic. I have some of those spikes. They are inserted into covers (or what i thought were covers) to protect the pointy points. But you say i can use these as feet !
The inserts are just tapered plastic (like shown in your attached pic) and it looks to me like a 90lb speaker would just drive those spikes into the plastic and break it..... I have wood floor so need feet not spikes.
The speakers have metal bolts screwed into the bottom right now - but no feet that attach to them !
Not even sure how feet would attach to these metal bolts, maybe they were molded on then over time the rubber (or plastic) broke away from the bolt head.
Been watching eBay. Klipsch does not have part.

Have a pair of speakers that do not have rubber feet.
Bottom of Grill is even with bottom of speakers so speaker needs a little elevation. these have metal plugs for feet right now.
Thanks

i have 2 that are relatively unused and both have a little wiggle at the base/glass junction. the base just wiggles a very little as they are being put in.
the receptical is slightly recessed within the amp so one must remove and insert invariably by push or pull on glass.
is this unusual for sovtek or a common prob with tight fitting tubes in apps were they are recessed in the amp.
amp is cj mv-60se.... tubes look and work good otherwise.
thanks

Those vinyl caps look weak if tobe used as feet, considering they were/are supposed to fit over a hex bolt head of the cab insert.
Thanks for additional information.
