Hi all.

Has anyone installed and used any adjustable spikes that they're particularly impressed with?

I'm looking for two sets to use under a pair of subwoofers that will serve double duty as monitor stands.  Because the subwoofers will act as stands, I want to use 4 spikes instead of 3 to ensure maximum stability of the stack, though I realize that this will complicate leveling relative to a tripod arrangement.  While I'll definitely use the adjustability of the spikes to help level the system, I also intend to adjust the front pair of spikes on each subwoofer to dial in a specific amount of tilt to the stack.  Given this, precise, consistent adjustments are important.

The subwoofer/monitor stack will be placed on low-pile carpet over a suspended floor, so no floor protection discs are needed.  I'd prefer to have lower-profile spikes if possible, but this desire is secondary to function.

The various Dayton Audio spikes (Madisound/Parts Express) and their knock-offs appear to be the most common, but I wonder if something that requires a wrench for adjustment might allow for more precise height settings.

So... any suggestions based on personal experience?

Many thanks!

if the speaker box is heavy means less vibrations at the bottom,well putting spikes does the same thing...

I like these a lot.

G.Georgopoulos, please note that regardless of weight, I'm looking at using the spikes to adjust the tilt of the stack as well, as mentioned in my original post.  (Otherwise I would look first at decoupling the stack from the floor, since it is a suspended floor.)

Sturgus, thanks for the suggestion.  I'd actually looked at those, but my speakers are so wide already (15.5") that I don't want to further exaggerate that width or take up additional space around the speakers.  (And I'd note that the product you reference appears to use the Dayton spikes.)

Thanks!

Any more suggestions?
