In this case of my Clements at least, BigguyinATL might be right.These speaker cabinets were formed using a fairly lightweight, phenolic-like material. Putting weight on top of them certainly increases the coupling effect but it does not make them sound better, to my ears. I believe that these cabinets are designed to rapidly shed vibrations at certain frequencies, "floating" them atop their stands has always sounded best to me.
