Leave the stock feet on. Forget the brass spike idea. The maple shelf will provide a balanced sound. The spiked feet on the maple shelf are akin to a video monitor with the contrast and brightness controls cranked up. It didn't do it for me.
BTW I prefered some form of spikes and Stillpoints with my previous MDF and Polycrystal shelfs.
