Moving from Carpet to Hardwood floors...need help

Next month I am moving and the new room will have hardwood floors. My speakers greatly benefit from using their spikes to couple to the floor...any suggestions how to couple to the hardwood floor without spiking into the wood? My two thoughts are to use either brass disks underneith the spikes (or similar) or to head in the direction of Blue Tac without the spikes.

Spiking into the floor will not be an option!

Thanks in advance

Another excellent product are Superspikes. Yuo can see them on this page:

With this product, the spikes and dish are integrated into a single unit. You substitute it for the spikes presently on your speaker, if the spike shank is compatible. You don't have to worry about bumping the speaker off the spike and it makes fine tuning the position of the speaker a lot easier.

... or decouple with Herbie's Big Fat Dots. I use, and am happy with the brass dBNeutralizer domes for my 80 pound speakers.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions...I really appreciate it! Moving my system is both exciting and scary since I like my sound right now...I look forward to experimenting with your direction.

Let me start by saying I'm cheap. So when I needed to move a pair of Meadowlark Shearwater Hot Rods on to a hardwood floor I went to Lowes and bought eight hex bolts with the same thread as my spikes. It looked as though the bolt heads were going to scratch the floor so I attached some pads to the hex heads. Performed very well for $5 or $6.
