Moving speakers from downstairs to upstairs, degrading ?

Hi ev1, HOW MUCH will I be expecting the sound quality be degrading if moving my Floorstanding SF Elipsa SE from downstairs (carpet on top hard cement slap) to upstairs 2nd floor (carpet on top of particle board). Thank you

@simonmoon What are all options for Decoupling the speakers from the floor?
As I said way back,
Make sure upstairs the speakers are de-coupled from the floor (no spikes), or it will become a soundboard for the bass, and ruin it.
If you can use a heavy plinth (eg: cement path slabs) under each speaker and then use 4 of these Sorbothane pad between the speaker and the plinth, 4 are good for 800lbs
