My new speakers are 190lbs each and come with heavy duty spikes, not so good for my hardwood floor. What type of spike protection do you suggest? Using Canadian dollar coins right now. I will not be getting the Gaia Titans.
I have Joseph Audio Pearls 20/20...They weigh approx.150 lbs each...I have pine floors...I went with Gaia I and they really do isolate! They just tighten the overall sound... And they look cool as hell! Expensive 1200.00 USD...
I should have asked, what speakers do you have? My Pearls have out-riggers, I removed the stupid spikes (you would think for that kind of money JA would provide 2 options) and finished the tops of the Gaia's with a SS acorn nut...
Be careful using coins for such heavy speakers on hardwood. I use to own speakers that were about 150 pounds each and set the spikes on US pennies. When I moved I noticed I had penny size Abe Lincoln impressions on my hardwood floor.
Herbie's sells nice gliders for using under spikes. Cheep too. I would be wary of sorbothane as it might stain wood surfaces. Another alternative is to get either butcher block or marble plinths made. I know Richard Vandersteen swears by marble under his speakers. B
