RE: Brass vs steel vs Ebony

If you can locate them, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised to find that the Herbie's Audio Lab Iso-cups with Gabon ebony balls will provide what you seek, since the sonic signature is pretty much spot-on as described by Steve Herbelin of Herbie's Audio Lab:

-snip-

"Gabon Ebony: African ebony subtly enhances upper frequency timbre with ethereal sustain and "bloom." Though bass is not particularly powerful, extension is very deep and well-defined. Upper-mids are smooth with plenty of "air" and three-dimensionality. Gabon ebony is perfect for music lovers who enjoy a somewhat laid-back, light and natural presentation."

-snip-

As for the ebony footers and bases you ordered, I recommend using Herbie's Audio Lab Thin grungebuster Dots adhered to the flat side of both the ebony footers and the bases (choose the black colored Thin grungebuster Dot with pressure-sensitive adhesive), since doing so will allow the ebony footers and bases to function better as an interface between the loudspeakers and the surface they are placed upon. The Thin grungebuster Dots will also keep the ebony footers and bases from slipping & sliding, and resonating against the surfaces they interface with.
