Sonatina II spikes and stability questions:

Does anybody have problems with the Sonatina II stock spikes? After installing them (my room is heavily carpetted), the speakers are not ver stable standing up (only 3 spikes per speaker). What you most of the owner out there are doing? Do you get bigger spikes? Are there any stands that will make these speakers stable? I rather use something that will make the speahers stance wider for stability that the longer spikes. Any suggestions are greatly absorbed. Thanks

I adjust the height of one of the back spikes to make the speaker stand vertical.

Any slight deviation in your floor being level (or spikes being same height) will be hugely magnified, visually, by the tall slender Sonatina II.

BTW, for fun I tried placing a cement block on spikes on my carpet, and then the Sonatina on spikes on the cement block. It has a very lovely, highly resolving sound.

I find it's pretty stable, but not as stable as it would be with four leveled spikes. I suspect he used three spikes because of the backward lean, the majority of the weight is on the back two spikes anyway.
