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 second the audiopoints...got some for my dad...they are soooo damn flat that they are actually pretty hard to pick up.

I went a more custom route myself but didn't save any $...and I'm sure they aren't as good.

I use pennies with a little felt on the side making contact with wood floor. It works fine.

Take a 4lb hand sledge and drive those spikes in.

Don't use spikes. Go to office depot and buy a sheet of cork and cut 8 small squares together, glue them so there are four and put them under each corder. Cork is used in soundproofing rooms and is mostly air. Another alternative is felt pads. Or both.

Try Herbie's Audio Lab "combat boots" depending upon weight of the speaker. Find the website under Audiogon Mfg list. Terrific products!
