I have found that there is no single type of cone that works everywhere.
I have conrete floors with carpet, my speakers had 1inch high hard plastic rails that brass cones screwed into. I removed the rails, drilled holes, then installed threaded inserts and used heavy brass Star Sound cones straight into the carpet. Tightened everything up, more clarity. The speakers weigh 175lbs each.
I started with isol-pads under my preamp, then went to BDR Pyramid cones.
My amp has a large cutting board sitting on cheap brass cones with the amp itself sitting on 4 large rubber stoppers. [Available at most hardware stores]
I have tried various cones, Cardas blocks, and prefer the rubber stoppers under the amp.
Other components that sit on a shelf that have cutting boards, have the isol-pads under the boards and various cones under the component. I have never liked the Cardas blocks under anything I tried.
Besides the above consider the carbon fiber products from BDR. And I would stick with brass for the speakers.
Another cone to try, if not sold are the Poly Crystal, there was a set available in the Asylum Trader.
Footers and isolation are really a trial and error kind of thing. The BDR cones, isol-pads, rubber stoppers, and Poly Crystal are all low cost. So you can experiment and find what works for you.
