Where are people getting their speaker spikes these days

It's within an inch, so I guess it was about an inch or so low with the stock feet. Perhaps the pic is misleading, they are 3.5" higher than stock. Either way, sound is much improved with the "Tall" spikes in my set-up.Too high for the proper tweeter height. The third tweeter down should be at ear level when seated.Two Channel-SDA SRS 1.2tl's,modded, Cambridge Audio 851w amps(2),Cambridge 851e pre, VPI Scout 1.1 tt, Moon audio phono pre,oppo bd105.

janmike, what about getting a group buy going. I would take 2 sets of 8. I have not found a better spike and at their price.
Grant was stocking his spikes in 1/4-20 for a while because of the all the requests from Polkies, then after he started to stock them, the demand disappeared. At least that is how it was explained to me.Political Correctness'.........defined

You must be very tall or have high seating. 3.5 inches is just way too high.Political Correctness'.........defined

Ya a bit of both. At 17' listening distance I would think that 2-3" inches in height should not make a difference. If it does it would indicate a VERY small sweet spot indeed. I will listen with a phone book under me for a few sessions and see if it "helps". lolYou must be very tall or have high seating. 3.5 inches is just way too high.
I got the tape measure out, btw, and my ears are in fact 2" below the 3rd tweeter down. I have never heard that on the big sda's that your ear is supposed to be at "exactly" ear level of the 3rd tweeter.Two Channel-SDA SRS 1.2tl's,modded, Cambridge Audio 851w amps(2),Cambridge 851e pre, VPI Scout 1.1 tt, Moon audio phono pre,oppo bd105.

Did you end up finding good spikes for your 90"s?

I did Ken, I thought they might be to small but they are perfect for the 90s in my room but the carpet is not very deep so YMMV.

Did they fit the stock threads? -
LS90 threads are 1/4 -20 which required me to buy the 6mm to 1/4 - 20 adapters.
