Would speaker spikes help cut down the sound transmitted to the
occupants of a flat on the floor below? If not, what would?

I believe the floor is carpeted, and the speakers are not very huge
anyway.


No, just the opposite. Spikes will *couple* the 'speakers to the floor,
and consequently any vibrations of the 'speaker cabinet will be
transmitted to the floor, and hence to the people below.


** Speaker cabinets barely vibrate at all - certainly not at the
corners.

Maybe not, but any vibration that's coupled directly to a presumably
concrete floor will be immediately audible below.


** Sound pressure COUPLES DIRECTLY to a floor - you ignorant ASS!!!


It is the low frequency **sound pressure** in the room that vibrates
the floor.

Yes, but cabinet vibrations *will* couple to the floor using spikes.


** Cabinets do not vibrate in the corners AT ALL .

Low frequency SPL in the room acts over the whole inside surface and is BY
FAR the dominant cause of floor vibration.

Easy demonstrated by lifting a speaker off the floor in your hands and
noting the level of floor vibration DOES NOT CHANGE.

You colossally ignorant fool.
