Spike or decouple ?


As you know,many speakers come w/ spikes (as does my VR4SE)
However,just read a piece by Greg Weaver(stereo times?)saying decoupling-in this case Vibripods on a board- under
this particular spkr gave them improved performance- esp.
the bass area. Hard to beleive many manufactures would continue to reccomend spikes if this were not the best way to go - but who knows ? Pls tell us your experience.

My Soliloquy monitors are on #2 Vibrapods after trying many things (commercial tweaks and other) underneath them. With the Vibrapods I don't sense any blurring, the tones are richer sounding, and the deeper bass seems to get a nice small boost that is just wonderful.
Note that I did try Audiopoints .2 brass cones, but they appeared to increase transient impacts such that I would get a minor headache after 20 minutes of listening.
