What increases the detail, quickness and resolution of Maggies on stands is not any coupling affect with the floor. It's the rigidity that it adds to the speakers; same as all speaker stands. When dealing with high notes as small as 1/2", much detail can be lost from the shaking of the speaker body. When you make the speaker/frame more rigid, then the diaphragm transfers more of it's motion to the air. What you hear is more detail, resolution, quickness highly focused imaging. When I put speakers on carpet, I first cut a 1-2" "X" in the carpet where each spike lands. I then take a large screwdriver and tear the padding underneath so that the spike is in good contact with the wood subfloor and NOT floating on the non-rigid carpet. A final foot-push on the stand above each spike gets that puppy nice and rigid=no vibrations.The bracing is icing on the cake.
