How to stabilize speakers without spikes.

My wife won! In the interest of domestic tranquility I have relented. After living with carpet over wood floors and spikes on my speakers for many years, my wife wants to have a wood floor (maybe tile) installed in our house. I've always used spikes in my Vandersteens (2Ci) to stabilize them with a slight front tilt upward. What would you pros do now? As always, thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Ummm, get a new wife? Just kidding. I'd find some spike cups and place them under the spikes.

Keep in mind, replacing your carpeted floor with a hard-reflecting wood or tile surface is gonna do a number on your sound. Be prepared to dial it in again...

Try some hockey pucks. Cheap & effective.

Thanks RW. Concerning the hard, reflective surface, that has been my argument all along. Now that I've lost, I'm already composing my second question about that once the new floor is in.
