That happened to me with the 208's, on BOTH speakers, 2 spikes screwed in perfectly (2 spikes per speaker) and I had to use a bit WD40 on the others. One would simply not go in more than 1/4 way.

The dealer sent me a new set of spikes, I tried the new pieces and only 6 of the (new) 8 fit correctly. I ended up using something different to decouple the speakers from the floor. Honestly, its the only disappointment I have had with the 208's, still, this should't happen. Surprised you are experiencing this with the Ultima line.
