I think another likely cause could be the bass energy concentration in the corners of the room 'leaking' into the wooden floor also.

I recently experimented with that in my living room as some songs were really boomy (I also have the SF O II). My room is quiet hard; wooden floor, nor carpet, clean side wall and wall to the back of the speakers. I put some couch pillows in the corner behind the speakers (I have really big pillows) and was totally amazed by the effect. No boom and considerably more details because the bass reflections were overwhelming mid tones.

I'm now ordered bass traps as I couldn't listen to my music without the couch pillows anymore and my wife was for some strange reason not ok leaving the pillows in the corners :-)

Knowing now that I've listened for all those years to a sub optimal sound is a kind of waist. I'd seriously suggest to just put some pillows in the corner and listen what happens....

Interesting theory. Thanks. 
The way that my system is laid out, I haven't actually got any corners to put pillows into, strange as that may sound. I've got some Herbie's Spike Decoupling Gliders on their way to me, so I'll see if they make any difference.
I'll let you know when I get them.

I have bass traps too, there´s no other way.
I had a pair of Olll a couple of months ago, this room has brick floor but now i´m moving to a house with wooden floors, room completely different and i´m a bit curious/affraid about the sound there.
I´m alert to your opinion about the spikes, even considering i have stand mount speakers.

When you say wooden floor, do you mean a suspended floor with joists underneath floorboards or wooden laminate over concrete? If the latter, you should have no problems as long as you put a rug or something between you and the speakers.
