Default speaker decoupling and spikes (contradiction?)

I've never seen any systematic studies of the audible or measurable benefits

But they're not inherently stupid or useless. Unless the drivers are
thoroughly decoupled from the cabinet, they make the cabinet move. It
couldn't hurt to couple the cabinet to the floor, to provide a partial
"sink" for these vibrations.


Yes, but it would seem that there are many better ways to do it than to
use spikes.
