Floor protection from spikes
No method, they are deep dished and with my speakers show no signs of slipping out of the dish as I slide and adjust the speakers across my hardwood flooring. The three variants of the sliders offer a different tone per say, I chose the brass as t... 
Jazz combo fans?

Floor protection from spikes
The Herbies gliders are great and come in three different variants of brass, titanium and I believe stainless steel. I use them (brass) under the factory spikes of a pair of 160lb Wilson Sophias to great effect. Initially bought them just to ease ...

Sound Anchors Floor Bases
I have used their stands in the past and currently have them on a set of B&W 804s that are not in use at this time and love what they added to the sound in each application but please note, that on my 804s they are a T type base with 3 spikes ... 
New upper trim level Corvette or seven year old used amps?
Those new mid engine Corvettes have caught my eye as well, best case scenario would be to drive your new Corvette to go pick up your new amps. Enjoy the music 
Recommendation for an audiophile speaker cord that is not "bright"?
The Acoustic Zen mentioned before are an excellent choice for your issue and I have used them with my Wilson's for 8 years with great effect. You might also consider an older pair of the PS Audio Xstreem Statement cables for even more taming of th...
