If you wish to experiment with ebony under your loudspeakers, you might consider a set of ebony coupling discs (a.k.a. speaker spike base) positioned between your brass spikes and bamboo plinth, with Herbie's Audio Lab Thin grungebuster Dots adhered to the bottom of the ebony coupling discs (choose the black colored Thin grungebuster Dot with pressure-sensitive adhesive):

If you wish to experiment with ebony under your power amplifier, you might consider a set of four Herbie's Audio Lab Iso-cups with Gabon ebony balls, since what you describe is exactly what the Iso-cup with Gabon ebony ball provides when placed under a power amplifier. While you are at it, also try the Gabon ebony dome located on the same page. A set of three Gabon ebony domes can be used to replace a tripod set of metal spikes, and can be adhered with silicone adhesive to the bottom of a loudspeaker, component, or platform with no need of coupling discs placed under the domes:
