Spikes or Rubber feet?

I don't know if there is a difference or not. When I added spikes mine seem to have gotten tighter as well. But i am not an audiophile so i can't prove it.

From what i have read when i researched spikes is that when you add spikes it creates a greater amount psi (pounds per square inch) in the area where the spike touches the floor. Becuase of this the speaker is more stuck to the floor and the speaker case itself will move less when the speaker moves/thumps.

So basically without spikes when the speaker thumps you get less response because not only is the speaker itself moving to produce sound, the speaker housing is moving as well. Since both move, the sound produced is less.

When you add the spikes (need to level them as well), then there is less movement in the speaker housing whihc in turns allows the actual speaker to move more creating more sound/bass.

Again this is what i have read, i cannot really claim this is true or that the spikes, rubber feet or netiehr or both work best.

what i can claim is I like the fact that the speakers are straight verticially and don't tilt forward on the carpeting like they did when i jsut had them sitting on the carpet with no spikes.
