After the initial placement of the speakers it’s now time to screw in the spikes. Be- cause of the weight of the R 907, we recommend that you gently lay it on one side and screw in all four spikes together. Before you do this, however, be sure to place a couple of thick towels or similar underneath the side of the speaker.This will pre- vent accidental scratching to the surface of the R 907 and, equally importantly, will avoid you putting a rather large dent in your floor.

After screwing in the spikes, we recommend you fit them with the hard rubber feet and the indented metal washers we’ve supplied. These will spare the floor from damage and allow you to gently bring the speaker to its vertical position. Once upright simply adjust the spikes to give optimal support.
Floor surfaces vary considerably so we have given you 3 different choices when it comes to spiking options.You can keep the hard rubber feet on the spikes, rest the spikes on the four indented metal washers, or place the spikes directly onto the floor. Always choose the option that gives the most stability for your speakers in your domestic environment.
Using the spikes without the hard rubber feet or indented metal washers will give the very best support and sound quality. If you want to spare your floor surface from being punctured however, the rubber feet or indented metal washers are a good compromise. Sonically, there’s really very little difference between them - use whichever one suits your floor surface better.
A warning: be careful when using the spikes with the indented metal washers - you don’t want to get your finger trapped between the two!
Whichever spiking option you choose, avoid “walking” the speakers if you need to move them to a different position… especially on hard wood floors!
