Default Speaker Stands: with or without spikes?

I am about to construct a couple of speaker stands to my DM601 S2 and I
donīt know if I should use spikes between the stands and the floor. My
floor is hard (without carpet).
In case I should use them, should I use 3 or 4 per stand?
What about between the speakers and the stands? I have also seen spikes
there.

I have found contradictory information on the web about this topic, I
would like to know your opinion.


As long as the speakers aren't actually rocking around or sitting on
something resonant, questions of spikes, rubber mats, expensive wooden
cones etc. are getting into audiophool territory :-)

But you're making not buying, so you can try things out. DO spikes
make them sound different? Better? Be careful, a small change in
speaker (or listener) position will very likely make rather MORE
difference.
