Out on the tiles...with speaker spikes.


I've just recently moved into my new house, which is entire tiled. I want to continue using the spikes my speaker and stands have, but don't want to scratch the tile.

I know several companies make little 'feet' to go under the spikes. Does anyone have any experience with these? Which ones seem to be the best as far a keeping the speaker stable, not raising them too much and obviously not damaging the tile??

Thanks for any help you can give me!

If you've got the patience and access to the right equipment (I do!), you can cut aluminum round stock to the thickness you require, then countersink (a standard drill bit will work just as well) to the depth you want. The aluminum is soft, and easy to work with. Probably less abusive on your tile than a coin would be also. Then go to Home Depot or Lowe's, and purchase some felt dots to stick underneath. Although I much prefer the acoustics of a dead floor-- Carpet, with a heavy pad beneath.
