Long story short, I am making my own platforms/stands for the JMLab Electra I just purchased, and have been looking at this website. Seems like a very solid deal if you'll excuse the pun.

Would be using the "large brass" or "extended" - under some solid maple bases - the JMLab's currently are not spiked and I'm on carpet. I definitely hear a difference on the Lsim 705's and my 1c's so I anticipate a similar improvement with this change as well.

Anyone have any experience with them? Many thanks!

    This is the only Adona I'm aware of with brass cones.

    Adona stuff is generally pricey, but, well made.

    Ed, the Multi-Element Cones are exclusive to Adona. Great spikes and well worth the money. The others are variations of the Dayton spikes, which aren't half bad.
