I’ve checked out the quite impressive looking Townshend platforms but am wondering if there’s anything at the - just bought a house so broke - end of market for me to experiment with?

Speakers are B&W 805N with the dedicated B&W (no spikes) stands.
In such situations, there really is no substitute for proper isolation, which the Townshend Podium products provide preventing the room/house structure (including connected neighbours' properties) from singing along to your music. Slabs, Blu-Tak etc only alter the transmission characteristics of the speaker/floor interface, rather than blocking transmission altogether. You can DIY an isolation solution with straightforward mass/spring theory, but ensuring stability is a key factor with speakers such as yours that the Townshend stuff addresses pretty effectively.

Townshend Seismic Speaker Bars are rather cheaper than Podium platforms and work just as well with suitably dimensioned speakers, but I suspect not your B&Ws unless you used different stands with a larger footprint.
