Sonic inpact of spike/floor protectors


Just wondering:

We all know about the sonic benefits of using spikes under our speakers. But doesn't putting those little puck-like floor protectors between the spikes and the floor negate the benefits of using the spikes? Since the idea behind the spikes is to mechanically ground the speakers by concentrating the contact point of the speaker/floor interface, it seems to me that by using the floor protectors we are defeating the benefits. Why not skip the spikes altogether, if damaging the floor is out of the question? What am I missing here? Thoughts please.

Stanhifi, I don't appreciate your attempt to hijack this thread for you selfish motives. As the initiator of this thread, I'd like to say that if you don't have something substantive and helpful to say on the subject that really matters here, please BUTTOUT!
Frogman,
I was responding to tweakman's questions. So the initiator gets moderator priveleges? Must be a new Agon policy. :-) You're a funny guy though. Have a great evening. All my best.
Froggie. I don't think the issue is Stan "hijacking" the thread. Whether or not you agree with his comments, they are in response to Tweekgeeks baiting IMO. In other words, don't ask questions without expecting answers.
I do not have a dog in this fight however I am uncomfortable with any vendor encouraging the use of his/her product. Informational value aside, there is an ethical issue to consider. All of this, as I said previously, IMO.
