Spikes-Marble-Carpet-Wood Floors


My Snell CVs are about 100 lbs each. My hardwood floors are covered with a wool rug and pad. Currently I am using a set of aluminum Tiptoes I have had for about 20+ years.

The Tiptoes are not threaded they just sit under the speakers. I am not sure they are really coupled to the floor that well. They are going thru the rug and pad but is that enough?
I do have two marble slabs that could go under the speakers.

Should I place the marble under the rug? or on top of the rug? I am also wondering about gluing the Tiptoes to the bottoms of the speakers for a better connection.
Or should I just make some threaded DIY spikes and forget the Tiptoes?

Iv'e received the best results from coupling the speakers to a heavy platform and de coupling the platform from the floor . Heavy dense cones always seemed to work better than the narrow spikes that come with speakers . If a cone is not threaded into something it will resonate more than if it is .
