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.

You could try either isolation mountings of the kind sold for various
engineering purposes, or a half-inflated inner tube. I've used both methods
for optical tables to cut down vibration transfer levels.

It occurs to me that a few layers of bubble-wrap might also do the job if
the speakers aren't too heavy.

However you may find that there is still noise downstairs. And anything
that really isolates may also be unstable, so try these methods with care.

Slainte,
