How do your speakers fit to the stands?
I would be tempted to spike the stands into the floor, and get a box of IsoPuck Minis, assuming your speakers weigh about 9 to 10kg. I think you will find this improves the sound.

When I say not stable on the carpet I mean I could see myself knocking them over, The stands are quite tall which doesn't help. For that reason I will keep them as they are, I don't wont to be replacing damaged speakers. But I could see if I can get bigger diameter disks that may help?

I have used coins before, much cheaper than buying spike cups, especially if you use 2 pence pieces.
A set of 8 costs 16p.

Isolation pads
I can't remember what they are made of (They are like rubber) they are on the top plate of the stands and I have the speakers on them, they did come with the stands. The use of coins is a good idea and cheap. I could try that out now but I only have four and I need eight  2 pence pieces.

Would you have room for IsoPuck Minis?

VG point Jon. I'm only suggesting a quick listening session to see if they help the sound. I've done something similar to check out an idea and gone back to the original setup whilst I source a more permanent solution. Hope that helps.

 It's not going to cost anything to try the coin idea because I can spend them after. Nothing tried nothing gained.

Well people, a final update, the adjustable feet arrived yesterday and were fitted, but even after making sure the speakers were positioned and leveled sadly they would move with the slightest pressure applied.
I did try applying a little weight to the top to see if that would help bed them into the carpet pile and left them till this afternoon.
Unfortunately no joy, still movement. The upshot is I'm back where I started, and whilst its disappointing it hasn't worked, I wasn't unhappy with the sound I have, just thought it might be an improvement if in nothing else how it looked. I've a few brownie points with herself for at least trying to improve the look.
Thanks for all the tips and thoughts on this idea, greatly appreciated.
