Cawson: For years I used spikes on all my speakers and stands, for the accepted reason---they help keep the speaker enclosure or stand firmly coupled to the floor, resisting moving in reaction to the driver's pumping in and out. Then I read Barry Diament's writing on the subject. Barry makes the case for isolation of all components, including speakers. He recommends placing "roller bearings" under loudspeakers instead of spikes. Since the bearings allow a speaker to move if pushed, how can that be a good thing? The answer is, that while the speaker CAN move if pushed, music itself won't---the mass of the speaker is far greater than the force of the drivers moving. But more importantly, the bearings prevent seismic vibrations (very, very low frequencies) from entering the speaker from below. Diament's writings can be found on his website.
