The only reason why I went through the trouble of making and putting spikes on my stand was to keep them from moving and slipping on my carpet floor. Spikes are expensive and so are cables but they don't have to be.

Have you ever tried to place a speaker on a thick shag carpet without spikes?
It's not unlike shoving a feather pillow sack underneath which brings a whole new meaning to 'off axis response'.

My speakers are placed on a thickly carpeted floor. The zero-cost solution I use is simply to put pieces of left-over ceramic bricks underneath the speaker. That also raises the speakers a bit, so that the tweeters are nicely at the hight of listeners' ears.
Cheers!

I have gold carpet that isn't shag but about as close as you can get. The previous tenants had a big fondness for gold...
