Look to the right of the page for the cork version.
I've also seen thicker ones in the past, but didn't look through the site.
I try not to place gear too close to the floor because of dust & also static electricity (if synthetic fiber carpet and/or rugs are involved).
If you have six of the old metal cones left try them as well.
Never experimented with gear in the 50-60 lb range, so don't know what to expect with either type of (soft/hard) footers.
OT (or maybe not;-)
Didn't find it on Google, but in the late 60's there was an "astral wash" theory going around.
The jist of it was that it was healthier to sleep a minimum of 12" above the floor (thin mattresses of the time placed directly on a floor were considered to be a health hazard).
The reason being that cosmic particles (bombarding everything) bounced/reflected back off of surfaces (a denser surface = more bounce back) and this bounce back (of cosmic particles) was disruptive in nature.
Perhaps Geoff can add more light as to how this might be crucial to the well being of your mono block amplifiers.
