    Where to get longer spikes for 805s

    I want to raise the 805's on sound anchor stands a few inches. Anyone know where I can get taller spikes?

    A few inchES???
    Those most I've seen spikes extend to is about an inch to an inch and a half. How much taller are you trying to get?
    I know they sell various sized spikes here in Japan, but any "audiophile" product is going to have a price. i.e., probably more than $150

        NICE! It's cheap too! I should post some links to websites here in Japan. They make a killing out of tweaks like this. lol

          I was looking to raise them up 3 -4"'s. Have a new sofa that is high so I want to raise the speakers to ear level that's why I was thinking about taller spikes. I tried searching the net but didn't have any luck so that's I why I posted here. The other alternative would get a 2 x 4 and make blocks to raise them but that wouldn't look too good.

            Sound Anchor also makes stands for the 805. You can order them in many different heights. Obviously a more expensive option, but an option non the less.
            Main System:
            B&W 801D
            Emotiva USP-1 Pre-Amp
            Chord SPM-650 Stereo Amp
            Oppo BDP-105
            Squeezebox Touch


            Second System:
            B&W CM7
            Emotiva UMC-1
            Emotiva UPA-2
            Oppo BDP-83SE
            Grant Fidelity DAC-09

              I was thinking something similar. Also, as you already have nice stands, maybe Sound Anchor could make a pair of base extenders for you. Raise it up the desired height.

                HI All,
                I’m in the midst of an experiment. The HT system I am currently putting together is for my bedroom. It’s now mostly finished and I must say it sounds very good. Here is the essence of the experiment.

                Can I use a good bookshelf speaker (the 805S) and a good subwoofer...

                by Guy
                Can anyone please tell me approx how much hieght the spikes add to the 802Ds. I am currently planning on turning the garage into a music room and since the floor inside the garage is level with the outside I was thinking of slightly elevating my 802s (just in case). Spikes would be ideal for this....

                Anyone use spikes or anti-vibe cones other than the stock spikes with good results?
                by Tony1
                I currently have 805S on Soundanchors and wondering if anyone has used other name brand spikes that improved their sound. I tried black diamond cones whch tightened up the sound but lost the wide/airy soundstage.
