Can anyone suggest a good speaker spike? Further, any benefit on using them on my CS400?

Thanks- Greg

    Use the speaker spikes when you have to place the speaker(s) on the carpet. The 400i shouldn't be used with the spikes if you're going to place it on top of your TV. Use the rubber feet supplied with it instead.

    I REALLY hope that you're not thinking about drilling holes in your center to install some spikes. What's wrong with it on top of your television?

    I had not planned on it. I read some reviews about what a dramatic increase it made and wanted to get some feedback. Further, TV is wall mounted plasma.

    Then the best thing that you should do is get a center channel stand. I don't know of any links off the top of my head, but some of the higher end ones may have spikes on the stand, and also on the plate that the speaker sits on.........

    That's the direction I'm leaning. Thanks for the input.
