Replacement Spikes For Thiel CS2s

I just bought a pair of old CS2s, but there were no spikes included.  From researching the original spikes, it appears that there were some type of sleeves in the base to insert the spikes.  My base has 3 holes, but there are no sleeves.  Does anyone know of any aftermarket spikes with sleeves that will fit in the existing holes?

Thanks for your input on decoupling. Lots of food for thought & experimentation.  Prior to seeing your post, I ordered some original spikes from Gary at Coherent Sound Source, so at least I’ll have a chance to listen with & without.

Nice score on those classic CS 2 speakers. Given your bedroom set-up, go for the pointed spikes.  What other gear is in your System?  Feel free to join us over on Thiel Owners thread. Season's Greetings.

 

Happy Listening!

Thanks for the invitation to the Thiel Owners thread.  I’m going to join up.  This is just my bedroom system, which really isn’t conducive to critical listening. My amp is an old Aragon 8008BB.  I’m streaming to a Wiim Pro.  I have 2 DACS being delivered today which are the new Schiit Mimir and a Topping E70 Velvet.  I’ll audition those and return the one that I least prefer.  I don’t want to throw a ton of money into this.  I got lucky and found the CS2’s locally on Facebook Marketplace for $325.00 with all original drivers in the Teak finish.  I'm replacing the grill cloth today and installing all new original (for lack of the proper word) original plastic nubs that are attached to the baffle boards and insert into the 4 per speaker, female sleeves that are mounted on the speaker.  What is the proper name for those male plastic nubs?
