On a lesser expensive level, I suspect one can ascertain for themselves what's best for their situation by trying both avenues... At least they'll find out what they can live with that way... and should.
you may enjoy using both methods simultaneously. Coupling say the stands, yet decoupling the speaker from them.
I'd go that way before I'd opt for some $200 + or way more expensive items that suit one path or the other best.... just to get some idea.
There's tons of threads here on this activity - philosophy, and it always comes down to what you will endure or enjoy the most. So, try both at some moderate level and go from there.
Remember, it's your ears and your wallet.
Happy listening!
