Under speaker metal SPIKES ...what is the point ?


just wanna know if there is any ( i'm sure there is )
phisycal explanation for using metal spikes under speakers..
instead of using rubber or plain nothing ..

i would think it is to minimize contact level at maximum..
but what do you get by doing that ? :)

Also bear in mind that the limited surface area at the tips of the spikes presents little surface area for the vibrations from the floor to travel up into the speaker cabinets or stands. The broader the surface area exposed to the floor the more likely the cabinets will act as floor vibration antennae. Added bonus - the spikes keep the speakers from dancing across the room.
