When it was me, I cut the heads off of some Grade 8 bolts, sharpened the ends, installed threaded inserts into the speaker base, and double-nutted them in place. About $4 worth of materials at the time, plus a little labor, electricity, and wear on the bench grinder stone.

You need to consider what the speakers will be sitting on before choosing the spikes. Thick carpet with padding will need tall spikes with an extremely sharp point and a thinner diameter. If thin carpet the spikes can be shorter and have a larger diameter. If a hardwood floor you'll likely be using floor discs between the spike and floor, so the height and diameter matter a lot less. Brass (plated or not) or stainless steel are best. Plain steel or aluminum are not good choices.
One other consideration is the weight capacity. Your speakers weigh 155 lbs.Political Correctness'.........defined

Thank you for the advice. I do have fairly thick carpet and pad so will purchase long sharp spikes. -
