I guess that would explain why so many speaker companies use spikes.
Applying simple laws of physics would make one realize why spikes would be detrimental to sound quality. Thusly, what a speaker company sells, and what is popular does not necessarily correlate with high quality, Bose is a perfect example of this. It should also be pointed out that just because it is commonly accepted does not mean it is the proper methodology to implement.

It should be noted I am referring to highest possible fidelity.

Another note would refer to self proclaimed audiophiles who claim various snake oils create higher sound quality. This is all based solely on bias and has no basis in reality - spikes happen to fall into this category.

I no longer wish to derail this thread. If you wish to debate the 'merits' of spikes feel free to create a thread on the subject.
