Worth putting slabs under speaker stands?

[TameRacingDriver]

In my man cave I have a computer desk and have a hifi system connected. The speakers are currently on floor standing speaker stands to raise them to the correct height, and keep them off the desk.

I still sometimes feel as though I'm getting resonance off the desk even though the speaker stands are not touch the desk (nor are the speakers). It's a first floor room so it must be travelling through the floor.

Is it worth getting some slabs (i.e. marble or similar) to put underneath, would this help reduce this effect?

Well I impulsively went out and bought some granite slabs from argos. They do seem to have helped. Definitely a lot less resonance now and also seems a bit "punchier" and tauter.

Interesting to read! I have two sets of floor standers both on spikes and I was going to put something down to avoid damaging to the floor....speaker spikes are really very pointy, but wondered if it would improve the sound quality at all.

The speakers are heavy and the floor, while wooden, is pretty solid so not expecting much but can see that removing as much contact with things as possible must be a good thing!

Mines on a suspended floor so not very solid at all so I expect that's why I noticed a big difference.
