You want 2 things:
1 - Minimal surface contact to the floor.
2 - Minimal ability of the speaker itself to move back and forth due to energy from the drivers.
For #1 above, you don’t have to go crazy. Puck-like feet are fine if they are on a solid surface. The idea is to keep any resonant surfaces of the speaker cabinet from directly making contact.
For #2, sometimes added mass to the speaker can help, but you want to avoid a puck on thick carpet, as that will encourage rocking. Spikes which directly couple to the underlying floor board are preferred.
Also, no 2 rooms are alike, so you should always get professional help like GIK Acoustics. :)
Best,
