I think this arrangement works better than the spikes/granite/pipe slices arrangement did.
A mate of mine now uses 2 gel filled wrist rests under granite slabs to decouple his Celestion A3's. His listening room has a suspended floor directly over the cellar and the bass was a bit boomy but with the pads has definitely gained more clarity now. They can be picked up quite cheap, even Belkin do them.
