For those who use a floor protector under a loudspeaker or speaker stand spike, here's a simple trick that will hold in place that speaker position you worked so hard to get.

If anyone runs into some problems they are having difficulty solving, or just want to run a question by another set of ears, please feel free to contact me to discuss. If nothing else, it might be a good way to kill some boredom time!
