Isolating speakers from hardwood floors


I know this topic has been addressed in this forum already, but I have a more specific problem. I live on the 5th floor of a late 19th century apartment building with uneven hardwood floors. The floors transfer a lot of sound to the apartment below, which really bothers my new downstairs neighbor.

I have Tannoy Revolution R2 speakers on the spikes that came with them, but I have heard that spikes can make this problem worse. The spikes that came with them aren't great, so I am very willing to buy some other isolation device (BTW, has anyone tried Sound Quest Isol-Pads?). Naturally, I don't want to compromise on sound quality, but I don't want to upset my neighbor, either. I'm hoping that I can achieve both goals, and I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks for your help!

try sorbothane round isolation pads. work great with speakers and subs. have some on sale on audiogon. they can be stacked if necessary.
