I would recommend using spikes. Your neighbours will sure apreciate it but also the sound will be tighter and more precise. I use sand filled stands on my 805's to add more weight. It is also important to make sure that the speakers are placed on a even surface to equal the weight on all four spikes. -
I use Soundcare Superspikes under my 804's, which are a spike with an integrated disc under it in 1 housing, much handier than a separate disc and spike.
Makes it much easier to move the speakers around, and I think they look pretty nice as well.

The 802 has metal plates with a roller wheel on the... -
I have my HTS set up in my basement. The is cement with carpet on top of the cement. I was wondering if I should spike my 803S. I'm concerned about the spikes making contact, through the carpet, to the cement floor can causing a negative impact to the sound. Is it ok to spike them or should I just... -
Hello,
We are going to change the floor from carpet to a wooden floor. My N802's (the non-diamond ones) have always been on the casters, but with the change to wood I want to avoid damange and put the speakers on spikes with protective underside (like those superspikes from soundcare:...
