There are woofer holes, thanks, glad to hear that they are supposed to be surface mount.
Not that it's a big deal, but what I was trying to say is that they sent me the exact number of bolts, no trip to the hardware store needed, except for the solder! I've read somewhere where they only sent 4 bolts per speaker.
As far as spikes, mine were not threaded to accept them. I think av123's probably right about the weight. I think spikes would only be a good idea if you purchased some really large, extremely high-quality spikes, and used 6-8 of them. I also wouldn't just use the normal threaded inserts to accept them, but rather large washers to spread out the stress a bit.
Also, you would have to get some of those floor protectors, or you would cause serious damage to the floor.
Also, in the daylight I question whether these are a Palisander natural. There's none of those super-light streaks on the product, but there are definitely quite large areas of lighter wood. So I think I might just have a darker specimen of the Palisander natural. I have some of the Rosewoods on ELT's, and these definitely don't have that red component, so if I had to guess, I think it is a darker specimen of the Natural finish. But regardless of the title, they are gorgeous.
I'm kind of surprised there was no logo on these. These will be the nicest generic speakers I have ever owned!
