A rigid connection to the floor can effectively transfer energy and thus sound to the potential reverberent space beneath a suspended floor and can actually quite easily vibrate a concrete slab.
Whereas the effect of the speaker cone moving the cabinet is absolutely tiny.
However this may NOT optimise your system.
In my opinion however, attaching that much mass (ie the floor) to my speakers was a bad thing and isolating them gave me faster and deeper bass or at least removed mid-bass boom.
As I say, opinions vary.
