Speaker placement directly on floor?

Just purchased a used pair of PSB Stratus GOLD i speakers.
They will be in my basement. My basement floor is a concrete
base with 1 foot by 1 foot tile squares on top. The floor is
pretty level. Should the speakers be placed directly on the floor or they have threaded holes in the bottom and the
seller of speakers gave me little 1/2 inch threaded rubber
feet to insert on bottom of speakers. What is recommended, or could something be purchased to insert into those threaded holes that would work better?

I use Polycrystal collossial spikes under my PSB Silver-i
to great effect. You will definitely want to look at area rug on floor between you and speakers, as tile/concrete floor will cause unwanted signal reflections.

Forgot to mention that Polycrystal (and Audiopoints) can
come with 1/4 - 20 threads that screw directly into base
of PSB Gold-i. Audiopoints are brass, manf recommends slim
version for Golds. Polycrystal are also brass, but coated with polycrystal material.....for full effect go with the
collossial 2" spikes.
