Being crazy I have tried a lot of different stuff under speakers and racks on my tiled floor at my beach house. I found wood pucks to be hopeless, most metals to be problemmatic, but brass to be best of the bunch. Even tried various exoticly expensive stuff like the pucks from various companies like Black Diamond Racing - yuk, the Brass was better. The ones I use cost 1 NZ Dollar each, but you will not get them anywhere else in the world. I reckon the Systrum ones look adequate, albeit more expensive. While you are at it you can get brass replacements for your steel spikes (assuming they are steel) from them. (Can't say I like their racks though). I still found there to be is a slight tinge of metallic twang there with brass, but not much and speed was maintained. One slight tweek got me to Nirvana - I wrapped plumbers tape around the thread of the spike before inserting into the speaker, and this seemed to just damp the metallic twang without any noticeable mushiness sneeking in.
Out on the tiles...with speaker spikes.
I've just recently moved into my new house, which is entire tiled. I want to continue using the spikes my speaker and stands have, but don't want to scratch the tile.
I know several companies make little 'feet' to go under the spikes. Does anyone have any experience with these? Which ones seem to be the best as far a keeping the speaker stable, not raising them too much and obviously not damaging the tile??
Thanks for any help you can give me!
