Has anyone got any experience and suggestions of DIY methods of
isolating speakers from the floor? I'm looking to do it to reduce the
amount of noise transferred through the floor to downstairs, rather
than as a method of altering sound quality.

Makes little difference - the sound waves produced by the speaker will
still go through the floor.


It'll make a fair bit of difference. Solids are rather better conductors of
acoustic energy than air is. So if the speakers are mechanically coupled to
the floor a lot more acoustic energy will be transferred to it that if the
only coupling is via the air inside the room.
