Yes, carriage bolts, that's it.
Also, if you like one of the Herbie solutions, there is one that allows you to slide your speakers if need be. I bought the wafers that go under my brass pucks and they stick like glue to the floor once the stands/speakers are on them, they do not budge...if you go that route make sure you know where you want your speakers.
When I removed the carpet from my listening room a few years ago I used the carriage bolts with pads as P_Nelson suggests. Inexpensive and effective.

Try these, I too have wooden floors and these great.

I use pennies under the spikes to protect my wood floor, as suggested by George Short of North Creek, the designer/manufacturer of my speakers. 8 cents, out the door. John
