Default Speaker spikes to reduce vibrations through the floor?

...
Would speaker spikes help cut down the sound transmitted to the
occupants of a flat on the floor below? If not, what would?

I believe the floor is carpeted, and the speakers are not very huge
anyway.

Thanks,

No, just the opposite. Spikes will *couple* the 'speakers to the floor, and
consequently any vibrations of the 'speaker cabinet will be transmitted to
the floor, and hence to the people below. You need to isolate the 'speakers
from the floor, which you can do with a block of foam rubber, tennis balls,
squash balls etc.
