Rubber feet when mounting on stands

Hello,

Should we remove the rubber feet on the speakers when mounting them on the stands? If I remove them, the speaker bottom directly contact the stands. What are the pros and cons of doing it? Is it recommended or should we avoid doing it?

Thanks!

I use the Thin Fat Dots that Dill suggested but mine are also bolted to the stands.
The decoupling occurs at the bottom of the stands which sit on springs.
Speakers = 105 lbs, Stands = 70 lbs
The situation may be different for smaller, lighter speakers where many use Blu Tack to secure them to the stands.
