Floor spikes for speakers?


I have Revel Studio 2 speakers with 2 SVS subs in a rather large, treated and carpeted room.  I bought the speakers with no floor spikes but I'd like to know what would happen to the sound if I put them on spikes.

I consider my Avior ii speakers end game.

Your speakers can't be end game because mine are. LOL!

And if you reply -- "end game for me" then of course the obvious reply is, "Well, for you, ok, but what does that really mean" ;-)

Nice!😂😂. I am quite sure many would consider my speakers end game but I no doubt should have said for me. How’s your room coming? I’d love to come down for a listen when it’s done. 

I’m pretty sure I have carpet over wood.  I put my Studio 2’s on the carpet, and then decided to try the spikes, because I thought that maybe the speakers were vibrating down and maybe the floor was becoming a big bass drum, and tht spikes would reduce/eliminate that.  I know I don’t hear a lot of bass when I’m in the room below the listening room.

So now I removed the spikes and have the speakers on multiple layers of rubber, felt, and foam to lesson the vibration downward and to lean them a bit forward so the tweeters point down a tiny bit towards my ears.

I still don’t understand how vibrations coming back up from the floor to a SS Amp, streamer, or speakers could affect the sound.  But I'm going to try some home made solutions first before I drop thousands on springs platforms.
