Re: TP24 Stands on 2nd floor carpet. Spikes or flat?
It is important that the spikes fully penetrate the carpet to couple the stand to the structure instead of letting it float on top of the carpet. There are speakers weighing over 100+ pounds that are on spikes, so don't worry about the weight at all, they are designed for it.
