Isolation platforms for Cube Audio Jazzon speakers

Townshend platforms are clearly excellent, but are there any more affordable alternatives?  I can't drill into the bottom of the speakers.  At the moment, I have the speakers on MDF pieces of wood supported on the corners with rubber/foam/rubber clad pads and really have no complaints, but I know how much SQ improvement I got with Iso-Acoustics GAIA footers under my Spatial Audio speakers, but have no way to mount them on the open bottom of the Jazzon speakers.  Thanks for any suggestions.

What about symposium?  No drilling, but no guarantee you’ll like the sound better than what you have. Did you ever try them sitting on the floor without a platform?

Can you put some words around symposium to aid my search?  I can't sit the speakers flat on the floor as they radiate bass from the open bottom of the speakers.

I looked up your speakers and they have spikes on the bottom to keep them off the floor, correct?  Symposium platforms are stainless steel, so you would have to use a disk under the spikes. Look up Symposium Svelte Shelf and you’ll find it. That aside, do you find that raising the speakers up on a platform improves the sound?  I’ve met so many people who knee jerk into putting platforms and footers under everything and it’s not always an improvement IMO.
