Coupling vs Decoupling

I’m new to this forum and have been doing much reading. I’m aware working with the room and equipment can produce dramatic changes in sound. One topic I’m lost with is coupling vs decoupling. When, where and how to apply each method to produce the best outcome?  

My current system is KEF R900 towers with matching center, R600C and surrounds, R300 and a pair of JL E112 subs flanking a Sony A1E TV.  The room is a bonus room approx 24’ x 14’ with all centered on the 14’ wall. 

Currently the towers are equipped with spiked plinths and subs sit directly on the carpet with their OE feet.  Any feedback about how to best manage acoustic vibrations and when/where to apply coupling or decoupling methods is greatly appreciated.
