What material are the spikes made of? Will it scratch the finish of woodden bookself speakers?

I do believe they give you spikes for the carpet and rubber ones for hard floors. I have my stands on a wooden floor and it is fine.

Comes with carpet spikes or rubber pads for the bottom. Top spikes are metal and might scratch a speaker. You can simply not install them and use something else, some sort of rubber with adhesive on one side for example.

Hi Jason, Thank you for your question. We have just added a tube of Aspectek Silicone Adhesive to our box (new purchases only). You can also use screws or nails to install the spikes. There are holes for this purpose.

It might as well be made of leaded crystal. While at it, they can carve it out like Fabrege Egg. Maybe then it will be close to being worth the money. This makes the Bose speaker prices seem cheap relative to these Alien eggs.

Wooden speakers would sound like crap... The cabinets are high grade MDF, finished with a high grade applied "wood grain" in black. I build cabinets and am very pleased!

Made of metal. I don't know what are putting on it..... But looks like it could hold a large music speaker.

They come with metal spikes for the bottom of the stand. These extend down into the carpet and create a pretty stable platform. Mine have nothing attaching the speaker to the stand (just gravity) and they are plenty stable on carpet.

These have small spikes on the feet and they stay fairly secure for my Polk 5 1/4", two way surrounds (Model T15), but they are on a carpet over a cement floor. If you have much bigger speakers you may want a larger stand as the extension pole is only held by friction via a single adjusting screw (unless you do not plan on using any extension). other than that, use anything heavy that you don't mind looking at, the bases are a steel plate and should hold quite a bit.

I bought these last summer and have them on our cottage screened in back porch.I assume they are not aluminum because they were so reasonable in price! and quiteheavy. While stackable they do scratch and the white "primer" shows thru. It does not reallybother me because it is only minor. I'm not sure I have been much help, but I love the chairs.

I used ply wood to construct a shallow box for them to mount to. I installed them in a metal box on my bbq pit on trailer, they sound great and are loud. Just needs something to absorb some of the vibrations.

The chairs come with plastic feet. You screw them in and yes, I can imagine they would scratch a composite wood floor. Felt feet would be better but the plastic feet are so small, you would have trouble applying felt feet to them. Better to apply the felt feet directly to the chair feet without using the plastic feet.

The housings appear to be plastic with a metal scree over the speakers. The housing has metal inserts for the screws that attach to the mirror mounts.

I made a wood board plate for the bottom of the speakers and painted them black. Then i screwed the wood board right to the bottom of the speakers. I mounted the tripod Top Mounting Plate (" T " Bracket) to the wood board. My Pro Line LS-T2BK Speaker Monitor Tripod Stands hold the speakers just fine!! You just have to do a little engineering. Just make sure your hardware is not to long. You want to go into the speaker cabinet not thru it.

More like teak or ipe wood. Very tight grain and ultra resilient to the elements. I live in the northeast and have them lakeside at my tiki bar. I keep them out year round so they are exposed to lots of moisture and temps from 0-100 degrees. Had them for about a year and the are starting to fade (greying). I think if I hit them with some valspar or tung oil they'll look like new.

They are plastic. They are round so they don't damage a tent. They could eventually scratch a wood floor I suppose but unlikely.

They are metal with very thin rubber on the bottom of each leg so as not to scratch up laminate floors - which I have. great table.

Most bookshelf speakers have a threaded hole in the back or on the bottom of them. The stud sticking straight out or on the 90 degree screws into the back of the speaker. It should look just like the picture, the part with the wing nut fits the speaker, the wing nut then tightens down onto the speaker and keeps it from turning. Good luck!

It's made of soft rubbery plastic. So no scratching. There is an aluminum piece just on back that isn't glued properly, so the ends stick out.
