The key argument is not that motion of the speaker cabinet *by itself* affects sound. (That could be a problem if you had a light, resonant cabinet, but any decent speaker is designed to avoid that.) Rather, the idea is that you want as much as possible of the energy made by the driver coil to go into moving the driver. Here the relevant masses are the cabinet on the one hand, and *the mass of the air the driver has to move* (not just the mass of the driver cone) on the other. With bass, a lot of air has to be moved and the energy required can be quite large. So you want your bass driver pushing off against as much mass as possible.Clearly a lot depends on how heavy your speaker cabinets are to begin with. As for stands, I'd agree that you don't need steel. Cement blocks work fine, for example, and I'd imagine that heavy, sturdy wood would too.
