Would you speak to sonic benefit if any.

My system from a long time ago. Getting the cables off the carpet made a very noticeable difference in the same areas Jerry notes.
I'm on a hardwood floor now and I can't tell any difference with or without them. Different room and components (many of lower caliber) so a lot of variables, but I think the lack of carpet is the main thing at play.
Were those Coincident's?
Good memory, Alan! Yes, those were the Coincident Total Eclipses, probably the most favorite speakers I've owned. Wish I still had them (I stupidly sold them to "upgrade"), although my current listening room wouldn't be an optimal environment. Perhaps if I knocked out a few walls....
The soundstage is noticeably deeper and more specific and the upper frequencies are more open and clearer/cleaner.
The lifters didn't transform my system, but they are a worthwhile upgrade.
"Laying speaker cables, interconnects, and AC power cords on an artificial fiber carpet will immediately dull the sound of your stereo. And that's true for all makes and models, not just Clearview cables. Unfortunately, the carpet is a huge mass of low quality insulation (dielectric). It absorbs and smears energy from the several foot wide field around every wire. The effect is pretty grim, making music sound both dulled and harsh. A simple, ear-tested solution is to raise the cables off the carpet by at least 8 inches. That's exactly what our good-looking maple Triad (designed by Marcia Bauman) does." Mapleshade. Sound is improved off other types of flooring also. Tweaker
