You could experiment with cheap materials, problem is anything isolating tends to be squishy - e.g. half squash balls, foam - not a good thing for balancing tall, top heavy speakers on.
I am a believer in coupling for speakers and isolating everything else. Thus floating timber floor is worst possible thing. But!... how do you feel about lightly modifying that purty little floor? If you were sure about speaker positioning, you could drill holes right through the boards and into the screed, insert rawlplugs and screws. Spikes on your speaker bases then sit in the screw heads, the speakers are coupled and nobody is any the wiser.
Spikes are perfect at transmitting vibration to the floors and subsequently walls below. I’m going to try some high density foam under the standsand see how it works.

Nice 'noys by the way.
