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.

My experience is that bass is the sound that travels the most from one house
to another, and that speakers tend to sound less bassy if you lift them off
the floor and put them on something else - my girlfriend's stereo can
produce a lot of bass and there's a big difference in the sound when they're
stood on the wide cabinet with her hifi to when they're just on the floor.
