Here is a quick snapshot of two of the spikes:
They are a bit less squat than I had remembered. From tip to base [without the stud], they are almost exactly 1 inch in height.

Title: ERR spikes Post by GregMav on 08/26/11 at 01:52:27 Can anybody tell me what the spikes are like that come with the ERR? Pictures would be welcome and appreciated, too, if possible. |

Title: Re: ERR spikes Post by Lon on 08/26/11 at 05:28:49 Don't know for sure as I haven't yet received any for my ERRs, but I believe they are 1/4-20 threaded rod with locking nut and a spiked end. Greg or Zygi or another may chime in I hope with definitive info. |

Title: Re: ERR spikes Post by Pale Rider on 08/26/11 at 14:53:15 The studs are indeed 1/4-20. Half inch or 3/4 work fine. I put 3/4 versions of the Herbie's Gliders on all mine. The supplied spikes are a very solid, somewhat squat shape, and nearly black in color. Not using mine. When I return home today, I will be happy to post a pic. |

Title: Re: ERR spikes Post by Lon on 08/26/11 at 15:02:38 Interesting. I tried Herbie's Gliders (not threaded) and ultimately prefer the ERRs with no spikes/feet, at least so far. Haven't received the proprietary spikes however. I think in my case with two channel the height of the speaker without any feet/spikes is perfect. |

Title: Re: ERR spikes Post by GregMav on 08/28/11 at 07:46:52 Thank you, everyone, for your responses. And thank you Pale Rider, for the picture. I appreciate it. From what I am gathering, the thread on the spike is a standard width in diameter? |

Title: Re: ERR spikes Post by Lon on 08/28/11 at 14:15:56 1/4-20 thread. One could consider this standard for this application. |

Title: Re: ERR spikes Post by GregMav on 08/30/11 at 01:02:59 Why I asked about the "standard" thread diameter is that I was wondering if one could experiment with other types of spikes, as long as the threads were the same diameter? |

Title: Re: ERR spikes Post by Donnie on 08/30/11 at 01:21:49 I wondered if a person could start with some 1/4-20 SHCS and just screw them into the threaded holes. Another idea would be 1/4-20 studs and lock nuts. From what I have seen of the spikes is if you have to pay more than $4.00 for them, someone is taking advantage of you. Nothing but some hex stock with a couple of minutes of machining on them. To answer your question, 1/4-20 is the same on everything you will ever run into. Sometimes they will be called 1/4-20 UNC. Same thing. You don't want a 1/4-28 UNF or a 1/4-18 NPT or NSP. |

Title: Re: ERR spikes Post by GregMav on 08/30/11 at 02:54:49 I was doing some surfing on the web for spikes and came across an interesting set of them. TT Soundpoints for speakers. Company seems to be out of Canada. A set of 8 spikes will set you back a measly $1,499.00 CDN. Don't know what that translates to american $ wise, but I am willing to guess it isn't inexpensive. YIKES!!!!!!! :o |

Title: Re: ERR spikes Post by Pale Rider on 08/30/11 at 03:15:38 Just to round out the data set, the supplied spikes have a mass of 33 grams each or approximately 1-1/8 oz in weight. Donnie is right, nothing fancy, just a nice hunk of pointed metal designed to decouple the speaker. The fact that they are included with the ERRs is just another value indicator to my mind. |
