nonobaddog Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I have a pair of KLF 10 speakers with the spike feet. One of them has 4 slip on things that go over the spikes so they don't kill wood floors. The other speaker does not have these slip on things. I would like to use these on wood floors. Is there a place to get these spike covers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idahodewitt Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 You may have to contact Klipsch for these. I have not seen them anywhere else. I have a couple damaged ones on one of my KLF-20s which I just purchased. I'd be interested in a set myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonobaddog Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 Thank you for responding. I did try Klipsch right after my original post and Robert Land from Klipsch Product Support replied that they no longer have these. He replied yesterday (Saturday) evening which I found pretty impressive. However I understand the spikes on KLF 10's are different than the ones on KLF 20's. I didn't ask about the KLF 20's so maybe they still have those. Do you know if the spikes unscrew on KLF 10's? It looks like they might but I don't want to try too hard. Whoa - I just tried it again and they do unscrew. However the hole is not blind, it goes all the way through to the interior of the speaker. Also it leaves the speaker sitting directly on the bottom surface which I don't like. I will have to make sure the holes are sealed and I want the speakers to stand on some kind of feet. The threads on the spikes do not look like standard threads to me, they seem too coarse. Maybe I can take out a woofer and screw the spikes back into the holes from the inside. That would plug the holes and keep the spikes from getting lost as well. Then I could set the speakers on some furniture sliders or something. Anyhow now I am just thinking out loud so it must be time to stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idahodewitt Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 You could get some large maple dowels, sand them down & paint to match the other feet on your other speakers, drill out the centers (almost all the way through), then epoxy in some threaded bolt stock into the hole (that matches the spike's thread & leave about an inch sticking out the top of the hole), and just screw them in place after the epoxy sets up. Maple is pretty tough and should hold up very well as long as you completely fill the hole with epoxy and leave no voids. This is just a suggestion and would be what I'd do if I were in your situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
