Where are people getting their speaker spikes these days

[thsmith]

I use to get them from myesound or meniscus audio when I needed 1/4 - 20 but neither carry or are sold out.

So where are you finding them these days?

I am spiking my LS90s and want a good brass spike to use on them.

Let me know what you are using these days.

Looked on ebay, partsexpress, dedicatedaudio, amazon and a few others and just not seeing what I want.

Myesound or meniscus audio like spikes is what I prefer, just raw brass spikes.

Ebay maybe?

These are the ones I prefer but are no longer available, you could probably find who makes them if you like them:

Pretty sure they are no longer in business unless they started back up.

Thats a bummer, looks like finding some nice spikes is going to be challenging.

[thsmith]

This would work but pricey.

I got my Dayton brass spikes through Amazon. There is a huge selection at decent prices

Problem is finding 1/4 20.

[htrdln]

what do the spikes do for you?

[thsmith]

tighten up bass, make speakers more stable and generally sound better as they are better coupled to the floor.

[htrdln]

thank you i saw them on my lsi25 i just thought it made them a pia to move around.. lol

The size of the daytons is very similar to the size of the polks. I just rethreaded them. Took me about 30 seconds per spike. very easy rethread.

In December, I got some spikes from Adona Corporation with 1/4 20 threads. Looks like a lot of their spikes come in 6m and 1/4 20. I got their name from a previous post from F1. I believe they were close in price to the Daytons at Parts Express.

They may be too small but I went with these

It was on on Jesse's list to look at.

Good idea but I want to see how these work. I have some of their other products and like them.

Madisound has 1/4x20 same as http://www.oregondv.com/spikes.htm but cheaper.

just be thankful it's 1/4x20 there's plenty out there for you try 3/8x16 now you start getting hard to find some that don't cost $20 a foot....

Ahh, didnt read that you had purchased lol, my bad

I know a guy that I believe used those spikes on his HTPC build and they looked pretty friggin awesome (some of his other choices I wouldnt do myself but the spikes looked COOL)!

P.S. I now hate you as you have me debating putting these on my mini computer build as well as my NFB-5 headphone amp and even the little tube amp I just got lol......

If they still carried 1/4 20 that is what I would have bought.

Just bought a set of these brass, black chrome 1.375" spikes in 1/4-20 from Oregondv.com for $2.50 each; $25.50 for eight with shipping. They should make a nice looking addition to my new Martin Logans, and should improve the bass response on the carpet as well. I can give you a review in a couple days if you want to wait that long.

[thsmith]

Thanks Jake, I may try those if the ones I ordered do not work out.

[RamZet]

I toss out pile and piles of B&W spikes from the CM series. Is that something people would want to buy off the Polk forsale forum?

[zingo]

Possibly, but those are M6 threads, and might not fit most speakers on here; but go for it!
