If you try a plinth, I suggest trying different materials because it will affect the sound. I tried wood and concrete blocks and the wood was awful. But I suspect it also depends on what wood and how thick, etc. which I didn't pursue further.
Follow Ups:
I am thinking of doing the same thing. Floorstanders...on spikes and spike shoes (came with speakers...nothing fancy). Thinking of just a 3/4" mdf board OR 1 1/4" bamboo cutting board. Bamboo would cost a lot more than mdf...wondering if it would "sound" better. What do you guys think?
I think you need to just try different materials. I thought replacing concrete blocks with wood might be better. It was way worse. In your set up maybe nothing is better.
It depends on resonant feedback. For instance if there is little resonance I believe hard pointed feet are best. But if there's feedback into the rest of the system decoupling may be better even though it's not ideal. But if you gain more by decoupling than you lose that's the best compromise.
