[QUOTE="user 1447, post: 68126, member: 1447"] the idea behind spikes is to decouple the speakers from the floor - as the speaker plays the wood would be resting on the floor and the floor would be vibrating - but placing these spikes in the way means that the speaker isnt resting on the floor - it is only connected to the floor by those 4 tiny contact points so it reduces the floor vibrations that are being transferred to the enclosures and eventually the drivers even standmounts/bookshelf speakers benefit from this when the stand has good spikes under them - but you have to adjust those spikes to make sure that the speaker is still flat and stable and is not rocking about on those spikes cos any movement would cause the sound to eventually degrade (another reason why you add the sand/weight to the enclosures or stand legs in the case of standmounts) [/QUOTE]
