Ditto. Even with the GMA Europas, which I had been assured were so vibrationally inert due to their cast marble enclosures that you wouldn't need spikes, I heard distinct improvements after spiking them on top of Osiris stands. You can do it with the spikes pointing up or down in my experience, though I usually turn them down to avoid scratching the speakers themselves. Every monitor speaker I've heard in my system sounded better spiked on top of the stands.
