alternative to speaker stand spikes?

I am looking for an alternative to spikes for my stands. I have wood floors that I do not want any scratches on at all.

It's so economical and just makes sense. Interested to hear if anyone perceives sonic benifits with costly specialty products.

You can then attach a protective pad if desired. These can be securely fastened to the speakers with the provided nuts. If nuts aren't provided you can purchase them at hardware store. Total cost should be less than $10. This has worked well for me and my wood floors. I've suggested this several times and am curious if anyone has tried it.
