Adjustable speaker spikes

Anything cheap and effective?

I'm not much into the ones that partsexpress carry, prefer a different look.

They've got a pretty good selection and not too expensive either.

I'm actually browsing through madisound right now.

Wonder how much adjustments I need, I'm sure my floors aren't flat and leveled.

If you go "tripod" - use three in a triangular array - they are pretty much self-leveling.

Supercell audio has several different types of spikes, and Mach 5 Audio has some cool little ones - cheapest I've seen.

The triangular idea sounds good! Thanks for reminding me of that.

BTW, does it make sense to add spikes to the bottom of the bookshelves (between the cabinet's and stand) and another set under the stands??

Well it can't hurt - probably not something you can overdo! You can think of the stand as an extension of the speaker, but that means the speaker should be rigidly coupled to the stand so they act as a unit. This could be done with spikes or even by bolting the speaker & stand together.
