too much bass

DPM - Thanks for the suggestion. I already have the speakers on spikes into sandstone blocks which are then isolated from the hardwood floor with silicone. But I will try cinder blocks.

N. Absentia - Did you actually read my post before replying?

...that matter. It's the distance from the floor.

The reason I used cinder blocks is because they were cheap, sturdy and raised my speakers 4 inches--which was about the same height as the platforms Hales offered as an add-on to the speakers (for too much $).

It sounds to me that you've already got your speakers elevated a bit. Since that isn't working, you'll probably have to try some kind of acoustic absorption (ala bass traps) or opt for crossing over to a subwoofer.
