Biggest Baddest Spikes Vs Gorgeous Speakers

Having used floor standing planar speakers for years, I am still learning about the bigggest baddest spikes and isolation devices for monitor type speakers.

Unfortunately, the cherry wood cabinets of one pair of my other speakers - Epos M12's - were badly scraped and scuffed by the spikes which emerge from their stands after someone bumped into them.

For a new pair of desktop nearfield monitors, I would like some big, bad spikes to

1) buy more audio gear
2) decouple the monitors from my desktop and
3) tilt them back a bit for more of an on axis response

I like the look of chunky inverted spikes and isolation cones, but have found that balancing disks in between the spike and speaker is a bit precarious. In fact, this way I managed to scratch yet another pair of speakers when my three point spike set up toppled onto the desk top.

I thought about glueing or using a vibropod type device in the two rear corners, with an adjustable metal spike in the front center.

But others have suggested that the rubber and vinyl devices will also discolor the cabinet's finish over time.

What is the best way to protect the cabinets while also retaining a rigid coupling?

All tweaky, geeky, and/or exotic suggestions greatly appreciated.
