My husband suggests making a foam sandwich / foam cushion, to get it off the floor (about 6 inches worth in thickness) - other than that create a false floor with a gap of space between the speakers and the 'real' floor - but obviously this is not viable in your situation. Is it a wooden floor or concrete? If it's wood, you're worse off, apparently. In fact, the whole room becomes a speaker box if the floor is wood, and passes the low frequency sound through the sturcture and makes it resonate, and there's NO WAY ROUND THAT. If it's a concrete slab, put it on the foam cushion to prevent structure-borne sound radiation. Good luck!! We all have this same problem (leaking sound, complaining neighbours, bass transfer).
