"Speed and transparency"...

will often appear to improve subjectively when bass intensity is diminished. I don't know whether that is good or bad in this instance. My belief is that cone speakers designed to sit on the floor very often should be raised from the floor by a distance greater than the manufacturer seemed to think was adequate. Doing that effects a kind of decoupling from the floor in relation to reflections. Almost always, things get cleaner and clearer and overall better when you do that. However, that is not the same thing as decoupling in respect to physical anchoring. I am very biased in favor of firmly anchoring speakers to the floor, just not too close to the floor. Sound Anchor and other companies make or made stands that are effective in this way. Lift but couple.
