    Default Thread size for the Tower feet

    Does anyone happened to know the thread size for the spikes that goes into the Tower base plate? I assume they are 1/4-20, but not certain if they are.

    I will be placing them on hardwood floor, and trying to find replacement feet for them.

    the threaded inserts are 1/4-20 and here is a direct link to what I recommend for use on hardwood floors. I use these myself and recommend them regularly:

    I plan to try out the GAIA III along with the Felt Levelers Dave recommended, but plan to do this in later stages of setup, once I have other items settled.

    The GAIA's work well on the Towers (I use them) although a bit more $$. I like that they keep the speakers in position and it takes a bit of effort to break the "suction" to move the speakers.

    Good to know that you like them. They work very well in other vibration isolation applications also.

    I've not tried the GAIAs in other applications. I currently use Symposium isolation products in other applications - Segue ISO under my turntable, Roller Block Jrs or Segue platforms under other equipment (phono prepro, amps, Oppos, AVR, RP5). These work very well also. Particularly impressed with the Segue ISO under the TT - completely eliminated a feedback issue I was having when turning the volume up.

    That is very good to know. Although I have not tried Symposium products, but have heard good feedbacks from many users.

    Peter at Symposium is great to work with. Great customer service, just like Ascend (and VPI, Rogue, Degritter, and VTV to name a few of the other vendors I generally use for new equipment or upgrades).
