If you want to know whether isolation is the way to go you could try a few cheap washing machine anti vibration pads or some rubber door stops first. But I have to agree with Rodney, given the size of your room, it's most likely that you need more air around the speakers. After all, spikes are isolators too.
Just for your information; Jim Smith believes more in coupling the speakers to the floor. He also mentions that if you have a concrete floor, it would help to put a small timber frame/floor on top (raise it by 2 inches or so). I suppose the idea is that a little vibration of the floor gives the room some 'body'.
If you wanna have a go; take your spikes of and plonk your speakers straight on the ground. See what happens. Cost: $0.-
