I wonder about that too. I have somewhat old and uneven wooden flooring in my listening room. My B&W Matrix 801 IIs were on their factory-supplied casters and they were never solidly grounded. One caster was always loose. I bought Sound Anchor's dedicated stands for them including their floor protectors for wooden flooring. Now the tripod spiked stands secure them to the floor without doubt and I do believe that has made the sound a bit more solid.
I think if I were to modify my Quad stands, I would make a triangular bottom with a similar three-prong support system. It would be interesting to compare performance between the castered bases and firmly spiked ones.
