Default Convert speaker spikes from quadrupod to tripod

My speakers have four spikes beneath them which makes it a pain to
move the speakers even slightly as the length of at least one spike
has to be adjusted to make all four rest on/in the floor. (The floor
is solid - maybe concrete - and not wood.)


"concrete"... is a very good vibration sink compared to wood, for
example.


What size/shape/structure/type of "concrete" do you have in mind, and what
do you mean by "sink"? Can you point pun me at measurements to support
what you say?

If this is a carpet and pad installation over concrete it is unlikely
that spikes will work anyway, IME.


"Work" means?...

Quality casters make a good alternative (measured reduction in cabinet
vibration) to speaker spikes, IME.


Ah. Thanks, can you give a URL for the measurements you are referring to
here?

Slainte,

Jim
