Rigid stands, spiked to the floor, are quite beneficial.

Is "spiked" in your native language a term meaning "solidly attached"
like the base is nailed or screwed to the floor? Or are you talking
abou those little brass cones designed to couple the speakers to the
floor or shelf that audiophiles buy?

And if the latter, was the study conducted by a company that sells
those speaker spikes?

No, some stands do come with, literally, spikes. Into carpet I can't
see they do anything at all. They'd make a mess of a wooden floor.
