Default speaker decoupling and spikes (contradiction?)

Hello,

Sharp spikes are often put on the bottom of speakers to keep them from
moving when a loud bass note is hit. But then there are those
Auralex Mopads. Those would do the opposite I would think. Wouldn't
those pads make the speakers fly back and forth? These seem to be
contradictory solutions to "tighten up the bass"


Neither makes any difference to the sound. The purpose of the spikes
is to allow the speaker to stand on carpet without wrecking it. The
purpose of the Monopads is to part the ignorant from his money.
