First look - new spikes

jsalk · « **on:** 7 Jul 2006, 09:18 pm »

It took a little longer than expected to get the first run of our new spike design completed. But now that we have all the CAD drawings nailed down, we should be able to keep them in stock.

We now have a small supply in raw aluminum and will have some anodized in black, gold and perhaps copper in the near future.

Anticipating a question some of you may have, they are not a direct replacement for the deluxe spikes we have been using on HT3's. They are slightly larger in diameter. So in order to swap them out, it may be necessary to ship your plinths back so we can reposition the spike inserts.

Here's a picture of the spikes on the first pair (HT2's) of speakers to use them:

Jim, are you planning on changing any or all of your plinth configurations from 3 spikes to 4?

Thanks!

I will stick with three spikes for the HT3's unless otherwise requested. It is more stable with three.

But for the HT2's, the plinths are narrower and not as stable as I would prefer with just three. So for HT2's, four will probably be the norm.

I hope that makes sense.

Very nice.

How about for hardwood floors? Do you offer little discs?

Nice looking Jim, but boy if I had waited for them to go on my speakers it would have been a LONG wait! Thanks again for stealing yours from your speakers for me.
