I think someone has had problems with the spikes on mine, and has I suspect fitted spikes form something else to it, as the female part of the spike has been araldited in. It may be Andy that if you could get spikes and the female part you could replace the Meadowlark spikes with something else. Not sure where you'd get both bits from, unless somewhere like Wilmslow Audio stock them. In fact have you tried there? They sell all sorts of replacement bits for speakers
