speaker spikes versus better bass on Lore

Got myself Tekton Design Lore just recently, before that was using Audes 037. Not because I was unhappy but just decided to try following rather impressive trails here on the subject of Lore.
What I am hearing so far with Lore is - if I don't but the spikes (came with the speakers) they sound 'boxy' or 'hollow', if I do put the spikes - the bass goes away. I have the hardwood floor (apartment), under the floor there is no foundation (no concrete), so the floor is pretty flexible.
I have not used spikes on Audes. Though those are pretty old model they sound above Lore at least as far as the lower part goes. And from Lore reviews I am thinking I am not doing something right. I am not yet into bass room treatments, I never had to install those with Audes, those gave me very well defined bass so I am thinking I may not be doing something right as far as spikes go. Would love to hear from the elders of the tribe what I can do better.
Regards

I've owned the Lores in the past. I ended up putting the spikes in the front and nothing in the back. It give a tilt that worked well for me. Try it, it might work for you also.
Also try putting the speaker closer to the wall with the spikes on and further from the wall with the spikes off.
