Is Spiking Necesarry?

I like to move my speakers around a bit for to test how they sound, so I slide them.  I have the Proac D48Rs, they are kind of heavy so with the spikes in it makes it tough to move them.  I haven't consciously tested or compared the sound with spikes or without them.  Does it make a difference?

why didn't their dipole configuration work in your room?

movement of the entire box back & forth will modulate the cone movement - causing phase error and other horrible things

so you want a way to prevent that - spike or very heavy cabinets will work

or... buy electrostatics or Maggies - problem solved (and a lot of other problems are solved too)
