Spike feet protectors

Can someone please advise based on your experience. I have purchased a pair of PSB Imagine T3 speakers. I have a carpeted floor. I can place the speakers flat on the floor, or with spikes into carpet, or with spikes into included floor protectors. Which would you recommend for sound and carpet? Thanks

Okay, thank you. Forgot to mention it is plywood flooring with carpet over it. A mobile home

Okay, so it would be best to spike speakers into a carpet/plywood floor? I purchased Herbies spike floor protectors. They are well made and solid....but do not use? Thank you for advice, I want to of course achieve best SQ

Damn...waste of money. I ordered them along with herbies tenderfeet for component isolation. Ah! Can sell on audiogon....not a big loss

Thank you. So I just want to confirm. Would spiking be the best option for SQ on carpet/plywood?

Ah, wow, makes sense. Suspended floor in a modular/manufactured home would resonate with speakers spiked to floor? Okay, so the herbies may be the best way then
