Man, use a coin.
In my country there is this 50 cents coin w/3mm thick very nice.

It's much better to use a disk that is machined with a conical recess.  This way if you bump the speaker it won't slip off the disk and cause any damage.  You will also be able to adjust the position of the speaker.

Gents:
Thanks. 

FullRangeMan:  Yes, I know I can use coins but I have a wife and a housekeeper to deal with and unless the pad is foolproof (i.e., has a conical recess as srb suggests), they will destroy the oak flooring...  Then my wife will kill me.

srb:  Of course, that's what I am looking for.  The ones you show in your post are $31.00 and will take up to 23 days to deliver...  I am trying to get six of these without paying an exorbitant price or waiting for a looooonnnnnggggg time - I have already waited ten weeks for these...
Thanks,
Mike

And I of course knew that Mike, I was just trying to dissuade any other potential unsuspecting coin users!     I do have the disks from my Dayton Audio cones that I'm not presently using, but I do plan on replacing the living room carpet with tile in the future and would kick myself if I gave them to you now (Sorry)!

I'm in Syracuse, NY, 13224 zip code, so I'm quite a distance away.  Thanks anyway.

I believe I have some I'll never use. PM me as a reminder and I'll look this PM.

We must use imagination not the credit card.

Here is a cheap and easy alternative to coins and expensive machined disks.
1.Go to Home Depot or Lowes and go to the Kitchen Design section and grab a bunch of marble or Corian sample disks. They are normally about 1.5-2" square.  You can even color-coordinate them  to your liking.
2. Now, when you get them home, take a ruler and draw an X on them to locate the center.
3. Take a center punch and center-punch the X.
4. Then take a 3/8" or so drill bit and just "kiss" the mark ONLY JUST DEEP ENOUGH to create a divot such that the point of a cone will catch the divot. DO NOT DRILL A HOLE!
5. You can get even more fancy and get some self-stick felt and place it on the bottom.
Now you have an excellent de-coupling device that even allows you to EASILY move your speakers on hardwood floors with no fear! I did this with my speakers that weigh 240 lbs!!! and they work perfectly.
