I have a bunch of these I use in a room that has very old fir floors. The floor is not level in either plane or direction and with these I can both level and isolate the speakers.
The ones you see were made in Copenhagen, but the business has shut down, and I need 4. I haven't been able to find anything like this in Google searches.
Has anyone else seen anything like these footers for sale anywhere? Believe me, I have looked hard.
Thanks

The image shown seems to be a brass disc with a removable brass disc insert that can be removed in order to choose two height levels. The indentations in the middle of the base and the insert are obviously intended for the tip of a spike, tiptoe, or cone, so the function of the device would be that of a coupling disc, sometimes called a "floor protector" from a non-audiophile POV. What is the opaque looking element shown at the bottom of the brass disc base? It appears to be a plastic insert of some kind.
The middle filler piece sits inside the larger piece. It is balanced by a small brass protrusion inside and in the center of the larger piece. The smaller piece has a small indentation on its bottom to center this protrusion, allowing the smaller piece to move slightly. The hole in the small piece is threaded, but has room for a small spike without hurting the threads.
That's the best i can do. I don't recall the price. I bought 8 of these many years ago. It was well under $500.
I can have them made in a machine shop, but it won't be cheap.
This is the only device I've noticed for sale that is similar to what you describe. However, it does not have an indentation on the top in order to accommodate a spike, if that is an issue.

Do a search there and tick hk and chins for more vendors
You may have an easier time finding an alternate material footer than these Brass (?) footers.. If you want to try finding this type of footers.a bit longer you might want to try some sites like the Cable Co., or Parts Express, VHAudio, Walker Audio, Mapleshade, etc.
I think you might have more success trying to see what type of isolation options are available from Herbies Audio Lab. I've always had very good results with anything I've ever tried from them. While those metal footers may work very well for you they aren't the only way to achieve the isolation you're looking for without any sonic trade offs .
