700$ X 8 = 5600

As long as your speakers aren't too heavy, these work for $7.00 each

255 Lbs each speakers
consider heavy?

considering the weight will be distributed over 3 or 4 points depending on how many spikes, yes.

These are also budget friendly

I would recommend these:



If the speakers come with spikes, they are designed to be COUPLED to the floor. If you use "spike cups", they will de-couple the spikes from the floor.

Using a penny will cause the penny to be deformed under the spike, and there will be a little blister on the other side of the penny that couples it to the floor, but still protects your hardwood floor.

Try to find pennies from pre-1982 because the new ones are made of 97.5% zinc and don't do as well as the original 100% copper ones. 1982 was the transition year, so some pennies made that year were copper, others were zinc.

It will cost you 8 cents. This also happens to be the most budget friendly option.

If copper pennies is too cheap and not "audiophile" enough, you might also want to use a dime from before 1964. They were made of 90% silver and work just as well as the copper pennies.
