What should I use between spikes and wood floor?


My new (mostly used) system is almost complete. I was lucky enough to find a pair of Osiris stands for my new Green Mountain Europas, but I need advice regarding the spikes which came with the stands. Are there any products which work particularly well protecting the hardwood floor without hurting the sonics?

Thanks in advance!

I initially used quarters under my Revel Salons (which are, admittedly very heavy speakers) and found that the spikes gradually drove holes through the coins and into the floor. I switched to Sound Anchors Conecoasters to rectify the problem.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Coancoasters do what they are advertised to do. They do an excellent job of minimizing the vibration that is passed through from the speaker to my suspended wood floors. The resulting impact on the sound was tighter bass with noticeably less vibration of the floors. Common sense would tell you that coins would accomplish roughly the same thing. However, with my system and in my listening room, the Conecoasters produced a noticeable improvement in sound quality.
ditto on don't use the pennies...or other coins...before I ordered the audiopoints the Vandersteen 2cesigs poked holes through pennies as noted above...and it only took about a week or two.
I use my grandmother's old glass rug protectors that she used under the sofa feet......
