I did a thorough study of this back in 1992. The results are
reprinted at http://www.stereophile.com/features/806/. Supporting
a speaker on spikes rather than a lossy interface of some kind
allows the cabinet resonances to develop fully.

June 1992? I don't see it in the index. Where in the 322 pages
is it?

324 pages (we start the folio numbering on the front cover, which is
page 1). The article on cabinet resonances starts on p.205 and continues
through p.207. I then followed up the subject in September 1992. All
my discussion from both issues is included in the Web reprint that I
referenced above.

Great article!

As I write this, I'm having a telephone conversation with my friend Larry
Zeitz, who insists there must be an escape clause for downward pointing,
carpet piercing, floor spikes on floor standing speakers, and the interface
between stands and floors.

I have responded that your article offers no implication that spikes are
useful for the floor interface.
Would you be so kind as to comment?
