Speakers on carpet or bare floor?

I moved my floor standing bass reflex 3 ways from a bare floor to a carpeted room and noticed much softer vocals but also a softer (wooly?) bass. I have been supporting the speakers with furniture cups. Will stands firm up the bass without losing the softer edge on the vocals? You can see my system on the bare floor
under budget systems, "my NADS". Thanks

I'm limited on the amount of movement. Not my house. Good thoughts, though.

The Cardas method is a good place to start , but you will still have to fine tune the position from there to get it just nice .

Have had a Duh! moment. I placed a thick book, simulating solid wood, under each speaker with the furniture cups in between. Ghetto technology ? Well, it's working. Bass is better disciplined and highs and mid highs are more defined. which brings me to asking, does anyone know a modest price and good looking stand for floor standers?
