Isolating my speaker stands

Hi all, I live in an old house that has floating wood floors. As you can well imagine, it is an acoustical nightmare. I have my Signature S2 speakers sitting on stands that are supported by spikes, even though it's a hard wood floor with no carpeting. Would I benefit from replacing the spikes with something like sorbothane pads to help decouple the entire system from the floor? I just ordered a Subdude for my sub in hopes that it will help with the bass. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Concrete patio slabs.
Two foot diameter 2" thick round ones are about 80lbs each.
Painted black they look decent.
I used that for my Infinity RSIIa speakers years ago.

Variations available. Granite slabs? Cut and polished would be spectacular.
Spike the slab, speaker on slab, no more issues.

The possibilities are endless. Hockey pucks under the stands are very cheap and decouple to a degree. Inflatable rubber tubes are better if you can find any that fit but stability is a problem. Roller bearings are good but can also have stability problems.

Something like Herbies footers would do the trick. That's what I use.
