I did try the disks under the speaker stand spikes got them from a DIY shop (I went in for picture hangers) I don't know what they were for but I thought they'll do the job and for only a few ££. I did punch a indention in them to stop the speaker stands from sliding about. After all this I found no audible difference, this maybe down to my age I don't know. But as I said nothing tried nothing gained.

I’m a +1 for the Isoacoustics GAIA. I’ve used them under standmounts and floorstanders to excellent benefit. With synthetic industrial type “carpet” they sat directly on that surface. In my new home we have carpet that’s too thick for that. I tried the Isoacoustics carpet discs and they were better, but a royal pain to move. Two bits of MDF cut to size is what they now sit on, but I’ll get something more attractive eventually. The broad flat surface does a better job than the carpet spikes. 

I’ve a friend who loved the result but not the cost, so he bought two ikea bamboo butcher blocks eight rubber washing machine vibration absorbers from the hardware shop. Terrific solution! Boards on his carpet, absorbers between that and his floorstanders. A very excellent and very cheap solution.

As most of you say they do make a difference I have been listening a bit more with and with out speaker feet. Some times I think I hear something then I don't on other music. I can't explain it but with music by Enya is where I'm hearing the difference for the better. This is making it frustrating as I don't know why. Spent my day off waiting for a delivery that didn't turn up and all I achieved was frustration and Pi--ed off with wasting a days holiday.
