How to stabilize speakers without spikes.

My wife won! In the interest of domestic tranquility I have relented. After living with carpet over wood floors and spikes on my speakers for many years, my wife wants to have a wood floor (maybe tile) installed in our house. I've always used spikes in my Vandersteens (2Ci) to stabilize them with a slight front tilt upward. What would you pros do now? As always, thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Two different applications: hockey pucks = decoupling/isolating.
spikes = coupling

I love the results from coupling and it is much easier to achieve than isolating/decoupling--which is near impossible, especially from airborne resonances. I'd keep the spikes and put a penny or the like between the spike and the floor. Brass is an excellent coupler.
