Well I think I've been convinced by SWMBO that we are going to have our living room carpet replaced with real wood flooring... I've been dead against it for several reasons, not least the worry that it will ruin the sound of the hifi but that's all by-the-by... So, accepting the inevitable, my Acoustic Energy floorstanders are going to have to lose their spikes (cups are not really an option as I move them out into the room for proper listening, and one to the side of the TV for movies etc.)

I'm thinking of going with Soundcare SuperSpikes, which will work out at about £80 for two sets of M8 standard ones. Does anybody have any experience of these, or have any alternative suggestions? My main worry is stability, having already had my little girl knock one over, so I may also be looking at some sort of platform or "outrigger" as a stabiliser, so if they get a good shove they shouldn't topple, so any thoughts on that gratefully received too.

Thanks muchly!
