well ... without pictures .... it never happened.

also ... it's hard to offer insights ... needless to say, the better
the decoupling AND stability is always a good thing.

Now the questions ...

Are the monitors in direct contact with the stands ??? or do you have some
type of 'de-coupling' material between the actual monitor and the top shelve of the stand ??

IF monitors are in direct contact, then you still can improve it [without spending much more money].

What I used [laugh if you like] are 'DrScholl's massaging gel' shoe inserts.

I know ... sounds crazy, but what I did was cut the 'heal' section off, and then cut the heal into 4 pieces [it's about 1" x 2"], then placed 4 pieces under each monitor. My stands are solid concrete blocks. This method passed the stethoscope listening test. Got the DrS's at the $ollar $tore.

Remember ... resonant frequencies traveling through solids are not aways 'broadband' in nature ... many times it will be a certain frequency that resonants. You don't want that.
