Cd player is skipping ...need advise.

I'm sure there has been a thread concerning this but I couldn't find it. I just changed speakers from Proac Tablette 50 sig's to Meadowlark Kestral HR's. I've found now when I play bass heavy tracks (ie Life in the Fast Lane by Eagles) my Rega Planet skips. Never happened with the Proac's. I assume it's due to increased bass response since it doesn't do it at low volumes. My amp is an Exposure Super XX. Everything is on a Salamander Synergy stand. Does anyone else have any experience with this? Would isolation devices (ie vibrapods) fix the problem?

Here's a cheap isolator :
Get a block of concrete or a marble chopping board.
Place on top of 2-3 inches sheet of soft foam, or
inflated bike inner tube.
Place CD player on top of the concrete / marble.
Not perfect, but worked for my turntable, when I suffered from bass feedback, and only costs about $10.
If it works but it is visually offensive then replace with a high-cost audio isolation platform.

The speakers have spikes and the system is in a carpeted room.

I used to have trouble with my Theta transport that would skip. I would eject the cd disc, hold it under water, dry it off and put it back in the Theta and it would stop the skipping 90% of the time.
