custom made speaker stand legtips - rubber or metal - not good vibration

I finally had my preferred speaker stands made but it came with a wooden "stick". as shown on the picture. I wanted to put an rubber tip to the end and to secure it, I put a screw in it. Now the screw is touching the floor. (Speakers: Dynaudio Evoke 20) 

Questions:

  • Should I recess the screw so that the "rubber touches the floor?
  • Should I put something on the floor between the speaker leg tips and the floor (hardwood floor on concrete) - like a soft pad?
  • Entirely a bad idea for both rubber and screw?

Here is a link to a bunch of mounts. I think the thinner the legs the further down the support.

Cross bars… function entirely. My experience has always been ridged support of speakers is key. My experience with tripods has been poor. But over time, I have upgraded my telescopes and tripods to world class ones (another obsession is astronomy)… requiring extremely stable platforms… like audio. They go through extremes to stabilize tripods. The view gets better with increased stability, just like sound gets more focused.

Nice. I would do anything you can to stabilize and ridgidify the stands. All my tripod telescope mounts have ridged connections between the legs about 25% down from the top. I could see the rubber at the bottom adding a bit of rigidity to the design by holding to the floor. I would try it with screws in further. 
 

Unfortunately I think you are in a situation that requires experimentation.
