OO1 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 it' s possible , but if they tip or fall over , you're not going to be very happy ---these weigh 100 lbs - I've seen very expensive speakers on spikes , but they were not your run of the mill cheap spikes ------and they had the backs of the speakers wired to a wall bracket , and the speaker was level perfectly - 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornwall-Sweden Posted August 15, 2020 Author Share Posted August 15, 2020 Maybe i should use som felt pads, to avoid scratches on the floor? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO1 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 the most important is to have the speakers level perfectly , then you can use spikes as the speaker is in perfect balance -----otherwise it is defeating the purpose for any improvements - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut the felt to size and set the Cornwalls on top. Carpet scraps are also good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiva Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Do the Cornwalls come with spikes? Do they have threaded inserts on the bottom to attach them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted August 15, 2020 Moderators Share Posted August 15, 2020 If you want spikes go for it, don't know how you would use them on the speaker, just don't scratch them up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean putting felt pads under the spikes, the spikes will go right through them. You can get feet for the spikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted August 16, 2020 Moderators Share Posted August 16, 2020 That would be better. So what are the spiked things supposed do ? Make a more solid connection to the floor ? If so wouldn't a large piece of something like felt let the whole bottom of the speaker sit firmly to the floor ? I don't know just wondering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Velodyne HGS-18 II Subs were on shag Carpet and the X-Mas on the Cone Excursion is so much that even though they weigh 105 pounds each, I believe the boxes move some on the carpet and affected the bass very little. I put spikes on the subs to punch through the carpet and anchor my subs. YMMV !! Rog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave A Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I don't think spikes do anything but part you from your money. There are a lot of audio "solutions" looking for your hypothetical problems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreG. Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Since we talk about spikes and other solutions; my RF3s came with the choice of spiked feet, or rubbered ones. I always wondered wich are "the better ones"? Personal preference? Or is one better than the other at decoupling the speakers from the floor? I have laminate boards on concrete as a floor in my living room. André Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 The Palladium center requires spikes. It's rounded on the bottom, so now way it can sit on it's own. Plus spikes can be adjusted, thread them in or out to change the angle of the speaker. I would think that adjustability can help with the sound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
