Ok mechanically inclined types. Thinking caps needed.

I'm trying to engineer a solution for the inevitable setup dilemma we all deal with-spiking heavy speakers, testing, moving, testing, cursing etc.

There has to be a better way. The speakers once completed will be north of 125lbs each. I want to be able to test without having to walk the speakers on spikes across the carpet, but dont want to omit spikes during testing.

The best I can come up with is oversizing the base so sharpened brass rods can be inserted from above and thread through an insert and into carpet. Kind of like a screw jack post idea. Then I can get a nice knurled knob for each spike top to dress them up.

Focal does this with their Sopra towers. Pretty heavy too I guess.

Thoughts? Best for less as always. wink
