Mapleshade boards under speakers

I have read all of the pro's and con's of speaker bases. So let me ask your opinions of my situation. I have some left over 2" solid American Red Oak from a mantle I have made. I have Kirksaeter Prisma 210 speakers for the front and rear. As I am remodeling my living room and putting in Oak Hardwood floors, I really don't want the brass spikes into the floor. My home is over 100 yrs old and the living room is over a dirt floor basement. The floor is 2x12's with gaps, covered by 3/4 inch OSB, covered by 3/4 inch Oak Hardwood Floor. Do you think brass cones on the base of the speakers into the 2 inch oak block will make a difference. I am willing to put the brass cones on to the oak slab but then I will have to use either the floor protectors or I was thinking about using the old glass furniture casters. What are your thoughts???

Here is another interesting article I have just come across. His theory and finding make sense. Give it a quick read and offer your thoughts.

It will take me a bit to make the stands but I will let you know the results. I do not know if it was this thread or another, but I also found some recycled rubber pucs (from car tires). I got the idea to look at HVAC sound and vibration isolators and thought these might work under the board. But if I am understanding your opinion it is to have the speaker on the board without spikes or should the speaker be spiked as well.
