@Beatlebum: My advice is to get some beeswax cloth, and put a single layer of it between the speaker and the platform it rests on. Or, cut approx. 1" square and put a square at each corner of the stand's speaker platform. The beeswax cloth will couple the speaker's cabinet mechanically to the stand to provide mechanical grounding, and also provide some constrained layer damping.
Then, as Delija mentioned, put some appropriate footers under the stands they are on. My recommendation would be IsoAcoustics Gaia or A/V Roomservice EVPs of the appropriate weight specification (For the IsoAsoustics, Gaia II or III depending on the weight of the speaker/stand combination). For EVPs, likely the high density EVPs. This will make a BIG difference, mostly in that it will make the room notably quieter.
Lastly, get the speaker cables off the floor. My recommendation would be the Shunyata Dark Field Minis; cheap at a box of 12 for $100.
