Standing Speaker
what is the benefit of having floor standing speakers stood on "spikes"?
i have speaker stands that came with spikes. will the sound be better with the spikes on?
hi there,
i came across this myself not so long ago when buying my current hifi system, so i had a look around at the time and my research suggested that most folks swear to improved sound quality when the speakers are mounted on spikes.
as it happens, i was really happy with the way my system sounded so i never actually used mine. also i didn't like the idea of spikes on my floor 
!
that said - i also have a little bedroom system that for the fun of it i put spikes on the speakers - and noticed no difference.
so to me it sounds like it is a personal, subjective thing. try the speakers with and without, and if you notice a difference, you can make a decision.
hope this helps, jim.
