Stands or feet for Thiel 3.6


I am using Thiel 3.6's with the factory spiked feet on a berber carpet over a 2nd story wood floor. The speakers are still a bit tippy. Does anyone have any experience with any of these options:

1) Sound Anchor stands for Thiel 3.6 ($235/pr)
2) Sistrum stands (SP-004) ($370/pr)
3) Substituting brass feet for factory spiked feet - Audio points by Bright Star, 1.2AP-THLS (these slip into the factory spike holes) ($160 to do all 6 spikes).
4) other products . . . ?

Many thanks for any advice you would have.

I have tried the 1.2APs, also on Berber carpets/2nd story wood floors. Yes, they are more stable than the factory spikes. But, I perfer the spikes over the APs. BTW, using the brass APs are not as simple as slipping the points in the factory holes. The points must be against the wood of the speakers, which means you must first remove the plastic groumets. Robert at Sistrum claims the Sistrum platforms bettered the APs ten fold. But, using these platforms would make the speakers even more "tipsy". I have not heard the Thiels with the sound anchors, but have heard them with B&W 802s & 801s, they are great.
